1. A Horsewoman

She is an excellent rider and knows how to control her horse. She handled herself on a horse, so she executed every riding scene in Runaway Bride on her own.

2. Hobbies And Interests

One of her favorite hobbies is knitting. Although it might seem like an activity for an older woman, Julia has been knitting for a while, and, to be completely honest, she isn’t that old. She simply enjoys knitting while she is seated.

3. Considered For The Role

Prior to Batman & Robin, she was a candidate for the Poison Ivy part. To be honest, this movie was a train catastrophe from the start, so it doesn’t seem like even Julia could have made it better. It’s probably best that she wasn’t offered the role because it couldn’t have been good for her reputation. ^[1]

4. Her Belief About Aging

Roberts boldly discussed aging with grace. She stated, “I want my kids to know when I’m angry, happy, and bewildered. Your face has a narrative to tell, and it shouldn’t be about your trip to the doctor, she said. Roberts contends that one should not combat the outward symptoms of aging. 

5. Her Religion

Roberts converted to Hinduism after filming “Eat, Pray, Love,” despite growing up in a Baptist and Catholic home in Georgia. Her family all go to the same temple, and she even gave her kids names that are considered to be Hindu by the guru she met in India. ^[2]

7. Role In Shakespeare In Love

The first candidate for the female lead in “Shakespeare in Love” was Julia. Yet she turned down the job. Ironically, “Paltrow” later received an Academy Award for her work in that role. ^[3]

8. Relationship Status

For a little time, Julia and “Kiefer Sutherland” were set to wed. Contrarily, Julia decided to cancel it a few days before her wedding. ^[4]
