Why Julia Roberts Almost Turned Down Her Role in 'Notting Hill'


Julia Roberts revealed she almost turned down her role in ‘Notting Hill’ because ‘it just seemed so awkward’

The 1999 film centers around the love story of American actress Anna Scott (Roberts) and London bookstore owner William Thacker (played by Hugh Grant). Elsewhere in the interview, Curtis, 67, revealed that Roberts “insisted” on him changing the script for a scene where her character mentions how much money — a whopping $15 million — she made in one of her films. Julia Roberts' film career has spanned decades and genres, earning her an Academy Award for her hard-hitting role in Erin Brockovich and charming audiences with her Golden Globe-winning part in Pretty Woman.
