Julia Roberts claims shes never been really thin
Julia Roberts has got to have one of the most envied faces – and bodies – in Hollywood. Yet she admits to having some confidence issues while filming her current movie “Duplicity,” with Clive Owen. Julia had given birth to son Henry just six months prior, and wasn’t feeling like she was at the peak of physical perfection. She also said she’s never been really thin, no matter how hard she tried. But she thinks that’s the key to her long and successful career.
You filmed Duplicity six months after giving birth to Henry. Were you confident with your body?
JR: To be honest, I was kind of panicking. I was still nursing him in my trailer, but I felt very supported by the director and Clive. You have a baby, and you just want to stay home in your elastic waistband pants.
And Hollywood leading ladies seem to keep getting thinner.
JR: I know! I look the same. I guess that’s my staying power. My fighting weight. That is a strange thing that happens. People get wildly famous and they get incredibly slim. It never happened to me, no matter how hard I tried!
So, you like to eat?
JR: I do, I have always been a friend of food.
Do you work out?
JR: I do, but working full-tie and being a mom full-time, something got to fall. Or fall down!

Julia’s always had an amazing physique that I’m sure is envied by millions of women. She’s never been scary skinny in the way that is trendy these days. She’s always been thin with curves. In Touch has a pictorial timeline of her bust (groan, I know), and it’s clear Julia was never particularly ample in the chest until she had kids. She’s always looked absolutely gorgeous. It’s amazing how little her face has changed over time. She’s said she isn’t ready for cosmetic surgery yet, and with a face like that, she probably won’t ever want it. Maybe some of the new crop of freakishly tiny starlets should take a lesson from Julia and realize you don’t have to be unhealthily skinny to have an amazing career.
