Julia Roberts, at 56 years old, has maintained what she calls a “G-rated career” by refraining from shooting n^de scenes in her movies.

The renowned actress, best known for her role as a prostitute in the film Pretty Woman, expressed that her decision to keep her clothes on during filming is a deliberate choice she has made.

However, she emphasized that she respects other actors who have opted to bare it all on screen.

In an interview with British Vogue’s February issue, Roberts shared her perspective, stating, “Not to be criticizing others’ choices, but for me to not take off my clothes in a movie or be vulnerable in physical ways is a choice that I guess I make for myself.

But in effect, I’m choosing not to do something as opposed to choosing to do something.”

Delving into a possible reason behind her decision, Roberts revealed a fascinating connection to 89-year-old feminist icon Gloria Steinem through a recent exploration of her family tree with Dr. Henry Gates.

Reflecting on this discovery, she humorously remarked, “I won’t even say, ‘Can you guess who I’m DNA cousins with?’ because there’s no telling what horrible person you would choose just to embarrass me in this interview, but I am DNA cousins with Gloria Steinem.

Yes.

And I just want everybody to know that.”

The accomplished actress, who shares three children with her husband Daniel Moder, a 54-year-old cinematographer, also commented on the challenges of fame in today’s world compared to when she first rose to stardom.

She noted, “It’s completely different from my time.

I mean, that’s when I really feel like a dinosaur, when you just look at the structure of the business.

It’s completely different… and in a way, it seems so cluttered.”

Roberts continued, expressing her observations on the current landscape of show business, “There are so many elements to being famous now, it just seems exhausting.

Whereas I feel like, and again this is just my perception, because I don’t really know – I’m not a young person starting out in show business in the 21st century – but it seems to me that it was: you meet people, you read for parts, you try to get jobs, you get a job, you try to do a good job, and from that job, you might meet some new people who might suggest you to some other people and then you might get another job and you might get paid a little bit more for that job, and it might be a little bit of a better job.”

She reflected on the past industry dynamics, highlighting the contrast with the present chaotic scenario, “It kind of just made this sort of structural sense, and now it just seems more chaotic.

There’s more elements, there’s more noise, there’s more outlets,
