In an intimate conversation with filmmaker Richard Curtis for her British Vogue cover debut, Hollywood icon Julia Roberts expressed profound gratitude for the early global recognition she received in her career.
Renowned for her roles in timeless classics like “Pretty Woman,” Roberts attributed her age-defying looks to the strength of her family, which she described as the ‘powerhouse’ of her life. The 56-year-old actress reflected on the immense privilege of achieving worldwide fame early in her professional journey.
During the candid discussion, Roberts highlighted the fortunate aspect of the timing of her career and family life. “Well, I think that the luckiest aspect of my work life/family life is that the success of my work life came earlier,” she shared.
Having dedicated 18 years to her career before embracing family life, Roberts felt blessed not to face the challenging decision of choosing between her thriving career and her family. “And so I felt that I had the luxury. I didn’t have to pick one or the other. You didn’t have to make the choice. Of either/or,” she explained.
Grateful for the flexibility to pause her work life and prioritize her home life, Roberts acknowledged the seamless integration of success in both spheres. The interview provided a glimpse into the actress’s deep appreciation for the harmony she found between her remarkable professional achievements and her fulfilling family life.
