Julia’s bold look captured the rock ‘n’ roll spirit of the night and won the hearts of fans online, proving she knows how to make a statement.
While the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony reunited Julia with Dave Matthews, it contrasted with the state of her personal life, particularly her relationship with her brother.
Once close, siblings Eric and Julia Roberts have grown apart over the years due to ongoing conflicts. Recently, however, Eric has expressed a desire to mend their relationship.
In his memoir, Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far, Eric Roberts revealed that when Julia began her acting career, he encouraged others to give her opportunities. Having already been in the industry for some time, he was an established actor when his sister entered the scene.
Eric acknowledged that Julia’s achievements in Hollywood were not solely due to his influence, despite having suggested otherwise in the past. He emphasized that although Julia didn’t come from a well-known showbiz family, it didn’t mean she wouldn’t have succeeded in Hollywood without his assistance.
He wrote, “Now one of the things I’d like to apologize for in this book is for publicly saying on more than one occasion, ‘If it wasn’t for me, there would be no Julia Roberts.’”
Eric stated that his words were not only unfortunate but also inaccurate. He expressed hope that Julia would accept his public apology, adding, “It was an asinine thing to have said. I was proud of her, but it was pride turned on its head, to my own advantage.”
Eric revealed that Julia wanted to be a veterinarian while growing up, but as his wife Eliza Roberts pointed out, she had the looks for the big screen. He also noted that Julia possessed the drive and talent necessary for success. Eric believed that even without his assistance, someone would have eventually recognized Julia’s potential and helped her thrive in Hollywood.
Still, Eric noted that he was born to be an actor, having moved to New York at a young age. After settling down, he invited his sister to join him in the big city. Therefore, Eric insisted he would take credit for introducing both Julia and Eliza to acting.
He claimed that if Julia had stayed in Atlanta, she would have married a wealthy man and led a different life. “She saw my life as a young actor in New York and saw what I was doing for my livelihood, and she wanted to try it,” Eric explained.
In 2018, Eric revealed the reasons behind his estrangement from Julia. He acknowledged his deep affection for his sister and the close bond they once shared. However, he admitted that his struggles with substance abuse had created significant strain on their relationship.
Eric reflected on how his behavior, characterized by negativity and complaints, made him difficult to be around, ultimately leading to his alienation from Julia and others.
When Julia and her husband, Danny Moder, welcomed their twins in 2004, Eric and Eliza visited the hospital to deliver gifts. The visit turned into a heartfelt reunion, filled with familial warmth.
This moment marked a turning point, leading to shared Thanksgiving celebrations and the development of a more connected relationship. After the visit, Eric and Julia maintained email correspondence.
Now, like Julia, Eric’s daughter, Emma Roberts, has become a prominent name in Hollywood, following in the family’s footsteps. “I am so proud of her, I can’t see straight,” Eric said of his daughter.
Eric, who has acted in over 700 films, added that he loves his sister and daughter, noting that while he’s not supposed to talk about them, he does anyway.
Despite this, Eric has clarified that any current issues with his sister are misreported. He explained that during a movie promotion, an interviewer asked him about Julia, and he suggested they focus on him instead. With his apology, Eric appears ready to make a fresh start with her.
From Julia Roberts’ celebration with the Dave Matthews Band at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to her and Eric’s reconciliation efforts, these moments highlight the changes in her career and personal life. She continues to captivate and inspire those around her
