No more romantic films for Julia
Actress Julia Roberts says her days of starring in romantic comedies are over. Roberts built her career starring in some of the most enduring romantic comedies of the modern film era. Now, the actress has admitted that she feels she has had too much life experience to convincingly star in a rom-com. “There came a point in my career where people thought I had turned on romantic comedies, which I love, to be in them, to watch them. But sometimes, they just don’t work at a certain point of life experience,” she said. The actress will next be seen in thriller Homecoming that will stream on Amazon Prime from November 2.
