Oscar-winning star: 'I used to be a naughty girl'

'Pretty Woman' - Julia Roberts confessed that when she first became famous, she was not an easy person to like but was very arrogant and selfish.

With her beautiful and romantic image in films such as Pretty Woman, My Best Friend's Wedding or Notting Hill, Julia Roberts was once considered "America's sweetheart", making millions of hearts flutter. However, Julia revealed that her real life was not as holy as in the movies.

In a conversation with Harper's Bazaar magazine in October, Julia Roberts confessed: "At that time, I was only self-centered and a selfish brat who ran around filmmakers."

Julia Roberts' confession of arrogance is not surprising to her Hollywood colleagues. Many have complained about the actress's behavior on set. Director Steven Spielberg, who worked with her on the 1991 film Hook, flatly said "no" when asked if he would work with her again. At that time, Julia played the fairy Tinkerbell, but everyone on the film crew nicknamed her "Tinkerhell".

At that time, Julia had just broken off her engagement to actor Kiefer Sutherland (she had broken up with him just four days before the wedding). "It was definitely not a good time for Julia and I to work together," director Steven Spielberg shared on the program 60 Minutes.

In 1994, Julia starred with actor Nick Nolte in the movie I Love Trouble. According to the LA Times, the beautiful actress disliked Nick's personality and always found ways to mock him. After the movie was released, Julia commented on her co-star as "handsome and charming but also very disgusting". Nick Nolte immediately responded: "It's not nice to call someone 'disgusting'. But she's not a nice person. Everyone knows that!".

Julia Roberts was aware of her impulsive personality, but it was only when she met her current husband (cameraman Danny Moder) in 2000 and became a mother of three children that she truly changed. The Oscar-winning actress confided: "Meeting Danny helped me find myself. When I think about what makes my life more alive, more meaningful, and shines from within, it's because of him. Danny brought all of that to me."

Now 50, Julia lives a quiet and simple life with her husband and three children: twins Hazel and Finn, 12, and Henry, 10. Still an A-list Hollywood star, Julia is no longer absorbed in acting, but only chooses scripts that are truly suitable. And when she is not working on set, the star is like any other mother, "mingling with the busy traffic to take her children to school," she confided.
