Almost two decades away from romantic comedies, actress Julia Roberts, 54, – who shone in her roles in films like “Pretty Woman” (1990) – said she chose not to make more films of the genre because she didn’t find anything that was “good enough”.
“People sometimes misinterpret the amount of time I don’t do a romantic comedy, as if I don’t want to do one,” she explained in an interview with the New York Times. “If I’d read something that I thought was on par with the ‘Notting Hill’ script or the wacky fun of ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding,’ I would.”
“They didn’t exist until this movie I just made that Ol Parker wrote and directed,” added the artist, who is part of the cast of “Tickets to Paradise,” a romantic comedy that also stars George Clooney, 60, and is scheduled to debut. in October this year.
In addition, she says she became more picky about what she would work with as she raised her children, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 17, and Henry, 14, from her marriage to cinematographer Daniel Molder.
“If I thought something was good enough, I would have done it. But I’ve also had three kids in the last 18 years. That raises the bar even higher. [sobre a qualidade de um filme]”, he pointed out. In addition to “Tickets to Paradise”, Roberts also stars in the series “Gaslit”, which premieres on the 24th.
