Julia Roberts: Why I chose not to ‘take off my clothes’ in a movie
New York Post ^ | Jan. 11, 2024 | Nicki Cox

Julia Roberts has been in over 50 movies during her decades-long career in Hollywood — yet she hasn’t done a gone au naturale in any of them.

During her new cover story with British Vogue, published Thursday, the iconic actress, 56, revealed that she has purposely avoided taking any racy roles in order to have a “G-rated career.” When asked if she has “any feelings of responsibility to other women” when choosing scripts, the “Pretty Woman” star told interviewer Richard Curtis that it’s more about what she “chooses not to do.”

“You know, not to be criticizing others’ choices, but for me to not take off my clothes in a movie or be vulnerable in physical ways is a choice that I guess I make for myself,” she explained. “But in effect, I’m choosing not to do something as opposed to choosing to do something.” The actress also revealed that she may have inherited her firm stance on feminism from distant cousin Gloria Steinem.

Well, good for her - but I thought I was the only one who never found her all that attractive until I skimmed through the comments.

The skit by Cheech & Chong where Cheech comes in and Chong is watching TV:

Cheech: Hey, Man, what you watchin’?

Chong: A movie about Indians, man, but it’s really boring, man!

Cheech: That’s not a movie, man, that’s a test pattern, man!

Chong: Oh, wow, man!

Cheech: Let’s change the channel, man!

TV: Sounds of woman screaming, things being broken, more screaming.....

Cheech: Oh wow, it’s a horror movie!

Chong: Wow, is that Jane Fonda?

Cheech: No, man, the scary kind!..................

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chong mis-hears the word ‘horror’ as ‘whore’. Jane Fonda had, at that time, a reputation for playing a prostitute in movies............

This thread has made me question why I am even on this site. Pounding on Julia Roberts? WTF?

Not to mention she did nude in Pretty Woman. There is a scene where she and Greer are rolling in the bed and she flashes nipple between the ornate headboard pieces.

She didn’t get the memo. We don’t care Julia. Celebrity worship is coming to an end.
