Julia Roberts seems to think she is no longer a target for the Hollywood paparazzi pack that follows the town’s hottest actresses wherever they go.

“Not many paparazzi follow me now,” she laughed, ensconced in a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. “It’s just the slow ones who haven’t yet figured out I’m not the one to follow.” She obviously had not seen the swarm of photographers massing at the hotel entrance waiting for her exit, a testament to her enduring popularity and the interest surrounding the imminent release of Duplicity, a jaunty spy thriller in which she has her first starring role in nearly five years and which reunites her with her Closer co-star Clive Owen.

LOS ANGELES – Julia Roberts has plenty of successful romantic comedy roles under her belt – but in an interview with Access Hollywood’s Tony Potts on Friday, she said she’s never kissed so much in a film as she does in her latest, “Duplicity.”

“I don’t think so,” she said, adding that it was easier thanks to reuniting with “Closer” co-star Clive Owen.

“In a movie that’s relying so much on chemistry and, you know, kissing, you want to be with your buddy,” she said. “It is awkward, when you’re not kissing your true love.”

Even more awkward for Roberts? A scene that called for nudity.

“I sort of… disrobed,” she said. “I’m like the G-rated actress!”

The star has spent more time with her husband, Danny Moder, and their children than on screen in the last few years, but she told Potts that it’s been time well spent.

“I’m not really one to work a lot,” she said. “I just want to enjoy [the kids] and be able to fully participate in what’s going on with each of them.”

And for Roberts, who had her third child, Henry, in June 2007, three is enough.

“We’re a trio,” she said.

And while life at home won’t find her kissing Clive Owen, the star seems at no loss for romance.

“Best thing about being a mom?” Potts asked.

“That Danny’s their dad,” she said.
