2009 Public Appereances: “Duplicity” Paris Premiere
Toys covered the floor, and Mary Poppins sang softly on the TV when director Tony Gilroy arrived at ‘ New York City apartment in the fall of 2007. The actress, who has three kids with husband Danny Moder, seemed to have relegated herself to ensemble work, but Gilroy was determined to woo her back to the screen in a major way. They sat in her kitchen, sizing each other up. He told her why she’d be perfect in , as a slick corporate spy who trades kisses and quips with an equally smooth . Then Roberts’ new baby, Henry, started burbling for his mama, 3-year-old twins Finn and Hazel woke from their naps, and the meeting took a G-rated turn. ”It started off, I thought, with me seeming very chic,” says Roberts, ”because it was just me and Tony sitting having a cup of tea. Then one by one they all woke up and came in until I looked like Mother Hubbard.”
Today, Roberts is tucked away in a suite at midtown Manhattan’s Ritz-Carlton hotel. Her kids are safely ensconced in another room, always near their mother, but shielded from the rigors of her public life. Roberts is in game spirits, and she takes a crack at writing the headlines that will inevitably trumpet her return to the spotlight — and question her relevance going forward. ”The Pretty Woman Is Back!” she teases. ”The Working Woman! Everybody’s talking about ‘Oh, this is her comeback’ and ‘Ooh, she’s 41 and she’s working and not a lot of girls in their 40s are working.”’ She shakes her head, her face sliding into that famous grin. ”Well, I’m baaaa-aaaack,” she says in a patient voice, free of any urgency. We might have missed her more than she missed us.
Julia looked stunning at the world premiere of Duplicity in London, UK. Loads of pictures has been added to the gallery.

Julia Roberts is reteaming with her “Fireflies in the Garden” director for “Jesus Henry Christ,” a feature comedy Roberts will produce via her Red Om Films.
“Christ” is based on Dennis Lee’s Student Academy Award-winning short film of the same name, and follows Henry James Hermin, a boy conceived in a petri-dish and raised by a loving, left-wing feminist. At the age of 10, he decides his mother’s love is not enough and begins to follow a trail of Post-It notes stuck around town hoping it will lead him to his biological father.
Lee is writing the new script and will direct. Sukee Chew of Hopskotch Pictures also is producing.
Roberts is not planning to star in the movie at this time.
A Columbia film school graduate, Dennis made his feature directorial debut on “Fireflies in the Garden,” which stars Roberts, Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, Emily Watson, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hayden Panettiere. The film is being released June 19 by Senator Entertainment, which also financed and produced.
Lee, repped by WMA, adapted Brad Kessler’s novel “Birds in Fall,” which he will direct for Senator and Red Om.
Roberts is repped by CAA.
NEW YORK — All it took was a question about sex — and out came that famous Julia Roberts guffaw of a belly laugh, echoing around a Manhattan hotel suite overlooking Central Park.
The abruptness of the Oscar winner’s loud chortle Friday even made her ”Duplicity” co-star Clive Owen start a bit in his seat. But then, as the actor admitted later, it is Roberts’ ”brilliant sponteneity” that is one of the things he loves most about acting with her.
Oh yes, we should get back to that question about sex — actually sexiness.
Julia Roberts says there’s an ocean of difference between working with Clive Owen and her other recent costars, George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
She didn’t have to watch her back.
“What a relief. I didn’t have to check the toilet for anything or the light bulbs or the phone,” she says of the on-set pranks by her Oceans Twelve pals. “It was just good old-fashioned friendship.”
And fun. Roberts, 41, returns to the big screen in the romantic caper Duplicity, in theaters March 20, reuniting with her Closer costar Owen. She says Owen, 46, makes her laugh constantly, which helped sparked instant chemistry onscreen.
“We have a similar sense of humor,” she says. “Our list of priorities in our personal lives are not different. We are both happily married with families and lead a pretty normal, unaffected existence within in this odd universe of show business that we’ve both chosen to go into.”
Roberts and Owen play spies turned corporate operatives in the midst of an on-again and off-again love affair trying to scheme and seduce each other using quick banter.
“I’m Southern so I can talk really fast,” says the Oscar-winning actress. “I grew up on Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, His Girl Friday movies – that rat-a-tat-tat talking cadence and that rhythm. I love that kind of thing.”
One thing she doesn’t love as much, at least right now, is the thought of her three children – twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 4, and son, Henry, 1, joining her and cameraman dad Danny Moder in show business.
“My first instinct is that if my children wanted to be artists, that they wait,” Roberts says. “I would prefer that they just wait as long as they can.”
12 more movie stills from Julia’s upcoming movie Duplicity has been added to the gallery.
Katie Holmes aka Mrs. Tom Cruise had an interview with Glamour and talked about who her icons are and meantioned Julia:
Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn. I also look up to Kate Winslet and Renée [Zellweger] and Cate Blanchett…and Diane Keaton—she’s a genius. I think it’s very inspiring to see these women attack such complex roles.
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.
