Between receiving awards and taking care of her family, Julia Roberts found the time to sit down with Vanity Fair for their upcoming December issue. The Charlie Wilson's War star dishes on celebrity and what she'd do if her kids wanted to act, dropping her baby weight, and how she knew her husband Danny Moder was the one. Here's more:
- On her kids wanting to act: "I would call Natalie Portman's mother. Natalie is such a good actress, but she seems like such a sensible person. I asked her about it one day when we were doing Closer, and she said she only worked with people that her parents trusted, and she only worked when it didn't impact her school... I hope I don't face that, though, because I think kids should be kids and childhood should be filled with ... you know that smell, when your kids come in and they smell like dirt and sweat and sunshine? That's what I hope for my kids."
- On being a celebrity: "We're all the same. Why can't we get on board with this? That we're all the same. Some have cooler jobs, some have less cool jobs, some have longer legs, some are nicer people, but we're all the same. We're all orbiting the same sun."
- On marrying her husband: "It was, the most correct decision I've ever made in my life--not that it was even a decision, because it just overtakes you. My whole body knew."
It's been almost 20 years since Pretty Woman and we're still interested in this a-list actress's fun outlook on life. It sounds like Julia found her real life knight in shining armor with Danny and we can't wait to read the rest of her interview and see her gorgeous photoshoot in the magazine.

3the original America's Sweetheart!!
love her
4i love julia! she's amazing!
5Yay
6her whole body felt it was right to wreck a marriage..wow, and why can't we get on board that we are all the same..she couldn't even get on board that you shouldn't mess with married men.
her face looks ridiculous in this pic.
7Love, love, love Julia! Love her attitude, too...she seems so down-to-earth and normal. It's refreshing.
8Nevermind.
9The most correct decision..... that's probably how his wife at the time felt too. Cooler jobs that pay waaaaaaay too much money, would she still do it, if it only paid $10.50 an hour? Sorry, she's lame!
10I used to love Julia, but she's gotten really funny-looking. Her face is soo thin, so her nose looks really long and weird. She looks good when she's all made up, but offscreen she's usually pretty plain now. And I don't care for her strange, Nancy Reagan look in the new Tom Hanks film.
11I didn't know her hus was married when the time they met..
I hate it when people do that makes me sick..
12I wonder if she considered humiliating his wife publicly with various "Vera" themed tshirts to be one of the best choices she's ever made as well.
13Julia is wonderful!
14"A LOW VERA" shirt.. hee
15yeah she's the original america's sweetheart.
16people are claiming it's jen but i think it's julia, but whatever i like them both but jen's the ultimate!
I don't think she is extremely beautiful but she looks very pretty on this pic. I like her hair and her eye makeup.
17what happened to Vera Moder, anyone?
18that picture is absolutely frightening.
19i was always into her until she seemed to be one of those women who was serially engaged. to agree to commit your whole life to SO many different men ... and then there was that whole lyle lovett thing??? she really pissed me off with the "a low vera" thing. i'm just glad moder didn't have any kids with vera because i cannot imagine how julia would've treated her stepkids after that little stunt. waaaay tacky.
20oh, yeah!! RUNAWAY BRIDE, indeed.. oh well, i love her acting and i wish her all the best in her life because we cannot change the past
she seems happy so, i'm happy for her
21Personally I dont think Julia is the prettiest actress out there but she is great actor and now im starting to believe she's simply awesome! I love her personality and values. Julia you rock!
22She's adorable!
23I will always love her and her movies
Airbrushed much? Everyone knows that her looks have gone way downhill. She looks homeless most of the time and she's way too old to get away with the Olsen bag-lady look. Sorry Julia, but you're no longer cute and sweet.
24Julia is so beautiful. Why did they have to use a picture where it looks like she has no neck? I love her eye's and eye makeup. She has the best eye"s and smile. I want to see the pictures inside. I think Julia and Britny Spears are on seperate issues of the November issue of W magazine.
25JLK is so right - Tyra would hate this 'no-neck' picture.
26But i still think she's gorgeous
I love Julia.
27She sounds so refreshing and real!
28I love her. She's amazing.
29I love Julia too!
30awful picture.
31she is so f*cking beatiful love her best actress
32Huh? Can someone explain this whole wrecking a marriage thing/Vera Moder?? I am completely clueless about this whole thing.
33No, Julia, I'm not like you. I don't steal husbands and pay off the wife, I don't have an ugly witchy chin, and people don't pay me $20 million while registered nurses make next to nothing. Yeah, more of your tripe. Can't wait till you're 50 and reallly look like you should.
34ha ha too bad she wont since she has all the money in the world and doesnt have to worry, too bad you will look 50
35that rose is so air brushed in lol
36I can't stand A Low Julia.

38oh well, i like her
Actually, she's up to $25 million a picture. And at 50 she will still have that laugh and beautiful smile. Beauty is about more than being young.
39I'm surprised so many people don't know about the infamous Julia/Danny/Vera thing. Danny was happily married to a woman named Vera. During the filming of "The Mexican" Julia met Danny, thought he was hot, and basically stole him from his wife. And yes, he had a part in it too. But she made it quite clear in interviews that she saw him on set and pursued him (I remember her talking about drooling over his abs). Obviously he didn't love his wife enough to resist the advances of a semi hot, very rich movie star. However Julia had the absolute nerve to go out wearing a shirt saying "A Low Vera" (aloe vera) because she felt Vera was taking too long to grant Danny a divorce. I don't like her very much because of this, to be honest.
40Oh yeah, and she looks horrific as a blonde. Always has. Most redheads don't look good when they go blonde, it washes them out. See - Julianne Moore, Linsey Lohan.
41Her natural hair color is dark blond.
Everyone's heard the story, but Danny and Vera's marriage wasn't so happy at the time he left her, which was about a year after Julia met him on the set of the Mexican.
And how come, if she was out amongst the paparazzi wearing this "A Low Vera" shirt it's so difficult to find a picture of it? I've heard about it in second hand gossip blogs, but never seen a photo and can't find one on the internet now.
42I'm not a big fan of Julia but this picture is really cute!!
43Julia has never been beautiful, but she's always had that charm and appeal that makes me love her despite everything!
44I like her attitude ot if her kids wanted to act.
45I adore Julia.
46i love her
47I'm such a big fan of Julia Roberts - and Natalie Portman!
48Oh Julia!!!
49Even though most people are nto fans (jealous) I still like her
I love her, but I had no idea about the husband stealing thing either! That is really disappointing!
