In an intimate conversation with Richard Curtis for her British Vogue cover debut, Julia Roberts opens up about navigating her career and family life, expressing gratitude for her early success.
The acclaimed actress, now 56, considers her family the ‘powerhouse’ behind her age-defying looks and reflects on the fortunate timing of her professional achievements. Roberts acknowledges the global recognition that came early in her life, describing it as the “luckiest aspect” of her work and family life.
Highlighting the synchronicity of her career and family milestones, Roberts shares, “The success of my work life came earlier.” Having been in the industry for 18 years before starting her family, she expresses how she felt fortunate not to face the dilemma of choosing between career and family.
“I felt that I had the luxury. I didn’t have to pick one or the other. You didn’t have to make the choice. Of either/or. So it was easy to pause work life to nurture my home life,” Roberts explains, emphasizing the seamless integration of her professional and personal worlds.
The actress concludes the conversation, hinting at the harmonious balance she achieved between her successful career and fulfilling family life.
