From her smile to her style, the ‘Pretty Woman’ actress Julia Roberts has already left her mark in the Hollywood industry. The 50-year-old has so many accolades to her name including the Academy Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, and even the Golden Globes. However, in her long career, there is a role that she thought would take her to hell.
The ‘Eat, Love, Pray’ actress won her Oscar for her titular role in the movie, ‘Erin Brockovich’ in 2001. In addition, the actress has been nominated for an Oscar multiple times for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. And it is one such role that helped her get nominated for an Oscar when she felt like a terrible person.

The Role That Made Julia Roberts Feel Terrible
It was for her role in the 2014 feature ‘August: Osage County‘ that Julia Roberts was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress category at the Oscars. However, changing her character in the movie was not easy for her. She feels like she has been a terrible costar throughout the movie. In the movie, Julia Roberts acted alongside Meryl Streep and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Starring opposite Meryl Streep had been an honor for the actress. However, in her interview with the Telegraph, the actress recounted her dismay at her role and attacked Streep’s character. “Attacking her physically was… just… awful. I felt like a terrible person who would truly go to hell. I might actually go to hell now, I’ve attacked her so many times,” she confessed.

But due to her character in the movie, Roberts found herself doing things she found difficult to perform, especially her scenes with Streep. “Choking her, and things like that, were not how I pictured it going in my mind all these years. I thought we’d be together, having tea and speaking in fabulous accents all dressed up,” the actress said.
