Julia Robertskept it lighthearted while talking about her upcoming film with longtime collaboratorGeorge Clooney.
While in conversation withVarietyat the Cannes Film Festival in France, the actress, 54, was asked about the forthcomingTicket to Paradise, in theaters this October, in which she and Clooney, 61, play a formerly married couple.
“Christ. I knew this would come up. Watch, the real acting happens now. Ready?” Roberts told the outlet, before, asVarietynoted, she put on a “big smile” and added: “George, isn’t he great!?”
Noting that the project is “a romantic comedy” where Clooney plays her ex-husband, Roberts then told the publication, “I think it’s so funny and George is so funny and George and I together, it’s probably going to be terrible because there’s too much potential for it to be great, it’ll just implode on it itself.”
“I think that should be the commercial for the movie: ‘It’s probably going to be terrible,’ " continued Roberts, before playfully teasing, “I’m so glad my publicist is on a plane right now.”
