The romcom queen is set to light up the screen again after two decades away from the genre. Julia Roberts will appear in the upcoming Ticket to Paradise alongside George Clooney, with the pair playing a divorced couple trying to stop their daughter from repeating their mistake of rushing to get married.
Explaining her absence from romcoms since the early 2000s, the 54-year-old Notting Hill star told The New York Times, “People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that’s gone by that I haven’t done a romantic comedy as my not wanting to do one. If I had read something that I thought was that Notting Hill level of writing or My Best Friend’s Wedding level of madcap fun, I would do it … they didn’t exist until this movie.”
