  • Julia Roberts reveals the reason why she has not done a romantic comedy again

At 55 years old this Friday,

Julia Roberts

is still an

icon

.

America's eternal sweetheart is

celebrating

a lap around the sun and, although her dream was always to be a veterinarian, she has finally found her home in the film industry.

Despite

studying journalism,

she decided to go to

New York to try her luck

in the world of modeling.

While there, her brother Eric got her a role in the movie

Blood Red

, but it was a

complete flop.

Her name became popular after being part of the cast of

Satisfaction

and, in 1990, her role in

Pretty Woman

catapulted

her to fame.

However, it was known later that

she did not want to be part of that movie

.

"Many years ago I auditioned for a movie called

3,000

, which, in case anyone knows, was the title

of the original

Pretty Woman

script

. But that version had

a much rougher ending,

" she told

Variety

.

But the study in charge of producing it went bankrupt and the rights fell into the hands of Disney, with

Gary Marshall

as director of the project.

A Sign of Destiny: "Not only did they bring me back the movie, but they

had also changed the script

to something that was really in my comfort zone."

With a promising future in Hollywood, Julia Roberts became one

of the most admired actresses in

the world.

Thanks to her leading role in

Notting Hill

or

My Best Friend's Wedding,

she managed to earn the title of

the bride of America

that she holds today.

And it is that such has been her film success, that the actress has returned to the big screen in style.

As she could not be otherwise, her return has been

hand in hand with George Cloony

with

Journey to Paradise

, a

romantic comedy

in which a divorced couple travel to Bali to try to prevent their madly in love daughter from making the same mistake they think they made 25 years ago.

A film in which, once again, Julia Robert has proven to be one of the most acclaimed and

best paid faces in cinema.

And it is that, although Julia Roberts will always be remembered for her weight in the industry, the truth is that

her personal life

has also been the center of media focus on numerous occasions.

Movie that she shot, romance that began.

After recording

Steel Magnolias

, she began a relationship with

Dylan McDermott

;

after

Satisfaction

, her

love story with Liam Neeson

came to light ;

and with

Kiefer Sutherland

she lived an affair after shooting

Deadline

.

Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland, whom she was about to marry. GTRES

One of her great loves, because with a wedding dress in hand and confirmation of 600 guests, the Hollywood actress was

about to say "yes, I do".

Honoring the movie

Runaway Bride

, Julia Roberts

eloped with a friend of her boyfriend three days

after the wedding.

The reason?

An alleged infidelity

on the part of her fiancé with a stripper.

More than enough reason for the actress

to take revenge on him with Jason Patric,

a good friend of the boyfriend who she had met at the bachelor party.

But their sentimental scandals soon ended, because in July 2002,

the actress and Daniel Moder swore eternal love

.

Twenty years later, the marriage is still

one of the most consolidated

on the international scene and Julia Roberts has created a family with whom she is the man of her life.
