Eric Roberts gets honest about his relationship with sister Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts’ brother, Eric, is shutting down the rumors of a rift between the siblings.
The ‘Clika’ actor called Julia “wonderful” while debunking the speculations that they had a major falling out on the ‘It Happened in Hollywood’ podcast.
“It’s not true — it never was true. We’re fine,” the 69-year-old actor said, “We have disagreements, as people do, but we like and respect each other very much.”
Revealing that he and Julia are on good terms, Eric added, “She’s a wonderful actor, she’s a wonderful human. I think she’s even a wonderful mother — that’s the hardest job there is. So, you know, she’s a cool chick and I like her.”
Eric further shared that he and Julia do have small disagreements like every siblings but these are not serious.
“The only issues we have are like day-to-day disagreements on whatever, but it’s not a thing,” he noted. “I like my sister very much. I’m impressed with her wonderful career. And she’s got three kids — she’s a mom, dude!”
This came eight years after Eric said the success of his daughter Emma and his sister Julia was linked to him.
“If it wasn’t for me, there would be no Julia Roberts and no Emma Roberts as celebrities, as actresses, and I’m very proud of that,” he told Vanity Fair at the time.
