Notting Hill writer Richard Curtis has revealed that Julia Roberts refused to take part in a sequel to the 1999 beloved rom-com because her character was supposed to get divorced. When asked about revisiting any of his previous films, the About Time director said he was satisfied with his work on Red Nose Day and Comic Relief, where he wrote mini-sequels to Love Actually. Earlier this year, the Eat, Pray, Love actress shared her initial reluctance to take on the iconic role in Notting Hill, admitting that she almost turned down the part due to discomfort with playing a famous movie star.
