Julia Roberts Shares A Peek Into Her Personal Life
As the interview progressed to more serious topics, Julia opened up about her husband's influence in her life. "I give him a lot of credit. Not that I am a different person, but that he has helped me protect my person."
When asked about raising her three [almost] teenagers in today's world, "Mom" Julia shares how she tries to protect them from social media. "... I don't really understand what they need that for right now." Roberts admits that she just joined Instagram herself this past Summer! Sarcastically she quips, "I felt it was my responsibility to social media to make my presence felt. We just don't have the 50-year-old house-wife perspective represented enough on Instagram."
Harry seemed genuinely pleased, sharing, "When you have the opportunity to sit and have a conversation with Julia Roberts, and she laughs, either at you or at herself, it is a thing of just abundant joy!"
Julia’s reaction to that statement was one of the most touching moments. That's when the usually very collected actress found herself visibly moved. "Harry... You are determined to make – I've been fighting tears honestly this whole time we're sitting here talking. You're determined to make me watery!"
It’s great to see a grounded celebrity not caught up in all the glitz and glamour of fame.
