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.”

I watch Oprah these days.  It’s kind of depressing, I know.  But yesterday I caught part of Oprah – and Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts were her guests.  They were on to promote their new film, “Charlie Wilson’s War”.  The show was a bit of a snooze, but we did get to catch a glimpse at her never-before-seen son, Henry.

That’s just wrong…c’mon now Julia!

Julia Roberts knew she was destined to marry Danny Moder from the moment they met – because her body told her so. The 40-year-old began dating the then-married Moder in 2000 on the set of her movie The Mexican and insists she “just knew” the cameraman would eventually become her husband.

The Pretty Woman star says, “It’s 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: ‘Yes.’ He’s just my favorite guy.”

Roberts wed Moder in 2002 and they have three kids together: two-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, and six-month-old Henry.

Julia on the frenzy surrounding today’s young celebrities:

“I think it’s just grotesque. It’s like a circus sideshow. I don’t know why anybody would even want to go into show business these days, with all of the different magazines and shows. It just wouldn’t be worth it. And it’s too fast. Before, you could build a career over years and many movies. Now it’s like you do one good movie and they throw a ton of money at you and a ton of attention at you. You’re being constructed outside of yourself before you even know who you are, and what you are, and how you want to do it, and why you want to do it.”

Julia on paparazzi taking photos of celebrities’ children:

“I just feel like it’s so demeaning the way they behave, and I hate the fact that I even put any of my energy into thinking about it or being stressed about it. And really, more than anything, it just has to do with my kids. There’s no reason to take pictures of celebrities’ children other than for people to say, “Oh, they’re cute.” I think magazines shouldn’t run pictures of people’s kids. I have a problem with that. I also have a problem with the whole notion that, if I have Henry in a sling, I’m hiding him. He’s a baby and I’m carrying him around, and so’s the lady across the street. I get pissed off, because I think that it’s inhuman to chase a woman with her children.”

Julia on how celebs are just like normal people:

“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.”

Julia on diapers:

“I use Seventh Generation [chlorine-free, nontoxic] diapers for Finn and Hazel, and then I was turned on to the [plastic-free, flushable] gDiapers. Henry’s got a gDiaper on.… I would recommend them overall. It is flushable, but you’ve got to stir that thing! If you don’t really break it all the way up, it doesn’t go all the way down.”

Julia on if her kids wanted to get into acting:

“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. So there were definitely guidelines. No one does it that way, but they did it, so it can be done. 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.”

Julia on how it felt to be the first woman to earn more than $20 million [for Erin Brockovich]:

“Just as good as it would if you were a man, I bet. I mean, I guess I shouldn’t belittle it like that. I should take pride in being a forerunner, even if it’s something that seems kind of stupid, like being overpaid for a great job. But I don’t really think about it. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas was my agent then, and she took a real position, as a woman in the industry representing a woman, to make strides in that way. So she really deserves credit. It was really a thing for her.”

Julia on getting back into shape after having children:

“I have been working out, but listen, it is 97 percent genetics. Don’t let anybody tell you any crap about anything else, because that’s what it is: 97 percent genetics and 3 percent just get your ass moving. Because I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like.”
