Julia Roberts on Nude Scenes: “It’s Not My Thing”
Joining the ranks of Brad Pitt, the mother of three now says she prefers not to prance around in the buff on the big screen.
“Listen, there’s a reason why you don’t see me naked me in movies, you don’t see me running around in bathing suits in movies,” Roberts, 40, told E!’s The Daily 10. “It’s just not my thing.”
(No kidding: Roberts famously used a body double to shoot nude scenes in Pretty Woman.)
Separately, interviewer Sal Masekela revealed an obscure fact about the mother of three (who welcomed son Henry in June): She almost shared an on-screen kiss with Don Johnson on Miami Vice.
Roberts was once slated to appear on the show as the character Polly Wheeler. She jokingly chastised Masekela for raising the issue: “Do not show a clip!” she pleaded. “Let me tell you something: I was falling ill while in Miami and ended up with spinal meningitis. Got sick down there, the sickest I’ve ever been in my life. There’s a little-known fact.”

She’s annoying. Go away once and for all. Nobody wants to see you on screen let alone naked.

Oh thank GOD she’ll never do nudes! I do NOT want to see this crusty old lady’s ass now or ever!

I like how she says that she doesn’t prance around in a swimsuit, but she’s in a bikini in a scene in the new movie, Charlie Wilson’s War.

I never understood why some people found her attractive.

Give her a few more years….it seems the trend in recent years that female celebrities wait until nobody wants to see them nude and then decide it’s the “right” time….the list of famous females that wouldn’t do nudes in their twenties, then wait until their late forties or even fifties to do a Playboy spread (with lot’s of air-brushing and photoshopping, of course) is long and distinquished…eventually you’ll see Jessica Alba and Simpson, long after you don’t want to anymore…that’s the way it works these days……

i wouldn’t mind a look to be honest, but given the state she lets her armpits get in, i’m not too sure of the outcome, she’d probably need some serious bush whacking doing.
