Julia Roberts rarely gets recognized

The ‘Pretty Woman’ actress occasionally gets stopped while out in public, but for the most part, people just think she is a very convincing lookalike. She said: “I don’t attract that energy. I get more of, ‘Psst, I have to tell you something. People tell me my daughter looks just like you.’ Or my favourite, ‘You look just like Julia Roberts!’ ‘Mm-hmm’. ‘Are you Julia Roberts?’ ‘Yes’. ‘No you’re not.’ “And the 49-year-old actress - who has twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, 12, and son Henry, 10, with husband Daniel Moder - thinks people believe she leads a “fantastical” life with an army of staff, when she’s actually happy to do chores herself. She told Harper’s Bazaar magazine: “I think people confuse the idea of having this fantastical job with somehow being a fantastical individual. “Like, ‘How could you possibly make breakfast?’ Well, hunger is a good motivator. “Of course [I go grocery shopping]. It’s a thing of make-believe that I can’t buy toilet paper because of course I can.” The ‘Notting Hill’ actress insists she’s never been particularly competitive or ambitious and doesn’t feel upset if she misses out on work. She said: “In a business where people can be very competitive and ambitious, I had a strange lack of those emotions. “When I didn’t get a job, I’d think, ‘Of course! I would have picked her too. I really believed it all had a purpose.” Julia is a big believer in fate, and tends to leave her decision making to her instincts.
