<p>Julia Roberts opened up about her decision to not star in any romantic comedies for the last twenty years — and she admitted a big part of the reason is because of her three children and the &#8220;pride&#8221; she has in being a &#8220;homemaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 54-year-old superstar actress spoke to the New York Times about her long absence from rom-com movies and admitted if she had been given a script that would&#8217;ve been at the level of, say, &#8220;My Best Friend&#8217;s Wedding,&#8221; she probably would have done it, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/04/18/magazine/julia-roberts-interview.html">reported</a> the outlet in a piece published Tuesday.</p>
<p>On top of that, she explained how the film had to be good enough to justify leaving her husband, Daniel Moder, and their three children — and she said that no movie ever came along that made it worthwhile.</p>
<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s the thing: If I&#8217;d thought something was good enough, I would have done it,&#8221; Roberts shared. &#8220;But I also had three kids in the last 18 years. That raises the bar even more because then it&#8217;s not only, &#8216;Is this material good?'&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s also the math equation of my husband&#8217;s work schedule and the kids&#8217; school schedule and summer vacation,&#8221; she aded. &#8220;It&#8217;s not just, &#8216;Oh, I think I want to do this.&#8217; I have a sense of great pride in being home with my family and considering myself a homemaker.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;As they get older, and particularly with my daughter, I do have a sense of responsibility for showing my children that I can be creative and that it&#8217;s meaningful to me — so meaningful that for periods of time I will choose to focus on that almost more than my family, which has been hard for me to come to terms with,&#8221; Roberts continued.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">“If I’d thought something was good enough, I would have done it.” Julia Roberts stars in the new Starz mini-series “Gaslit,” her first acting work in four years. She talked to <a href="https://twitter.com/NYTmag?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NYTMag</a> about her life, how she chooses her roles and how Hollywood has changed. <a href="https://t.co/Hyj6nN7LtT">https://t.co/Hyj6nN7LtT</a></p>
<p>&mdash; The New York Times (@nytimes) <a href="https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1516096759222710275?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 18, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The interview comes out ahead of the release of her return to the genre with co-star George Clooney in &#8220;Ticket to Paradise,&#8221; which will hit theaters later this year.</p>
<p>&#8220;People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that&#8217;s gone by that I haven&#8217;t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one,&#8221; the &#8220;Pretty Woman&#8221; star shared. &#8220;If I had read something that I thought was that &#8216;Notting Hill&#8217; level of writing or &#8216;My Best Friend&#8217;s Wedding&#8217; level of madcap fun, I would do it. They didn&#8217;t exist until this movie that I just did that Ol Parker wrote and directed.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;But even with that, I thought, well, disaster, because this only works if it&#8217;s George Clooney,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Lo and behold, George felt it only worked with me. Somehow we were both able to do it, and off we went.&#8221;</p>
<p>The &#8220;Erin Brokovich&#8221; star and Moder tied the knot in 2002 and they have three kids together: one daughter and two sons.</p>
