SHE'S a legend, America's eternal sweetheart and the ultimate romcom IS queen with her megawatt smile and special brand of magic that lights up the screen. Julia Roberts is synonymous with some of the most memorable movies in recent Hollywood history - Pretty Woman, Notting Hill, Runaway Bride, My Best Friend's Wedding... You name it, she's rom-commed the hell out of it.
But try to name a movie Julia has been in over the past four years and you're likely to draw a blank. That's because she hasn't been in anything - but it's not because Tinseltown's golden girl has lost her Midas touch. It's because nothing has come her way that she's fancied.
Happy family. Actress Julia Roberts with son Henry, twins Hazel and Finn and hubby Danny Moder.
If I'd read anything that I thought was that Notting Hill level of writing or My Best Friend's Wedding level of madcap fun, I would do it, the 54-year-old star tells the New York Times in a new interview.
Then the script for Ticket to Paradise landed on her desk and she took one look at it and decided it was made for her - but only if George Clooney would do it with her.
She starred in some of the biggest romcoms and hit dramas of the late 90s and the 2000s.
