Julia Roberts' Housewife Fantasy
Some housewives dream of being an Oscar-winning actress. Julia Roberts fantasizes about being a stay-at-home mom and wife.
In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Roberts, 40, reveals herself as a would-be domestic goddess, with a thirst for sustainability.
"My dream is to be a highly fulfilled and productive stay-at-home mom and wife," Roberts says. "The highest high would be growing our food that I then make, and then composting and growing more—that kind of circle."
Though she may long for a life outside the pressures of Hollywood, she says she would always require a creative outlet, "even if it's silly needlework and stuff like that."
As mother of two-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and five-month-old son, Henry, Roberts said she does not think she and husband Danny Moder will have any more children.
"[At] this point I'm having so much fun with them. You only have so much energy, and you want to put so much energy into each child," Roberts said. "And they're a really good trio, these three."
Meanwhile, after five years of marriage, the Oscar winner says that her relationship with Moder is going strong, and that tying the knot back in 2002 was the "most correct decision I've ever made in my life."
"My whole body knew: Yes. He's just my favorite guy," she says.
Now in her third decade in show business, Roberts feels the industry has changed—and not for the better.
"I think it's just grotesque. It's like a circus sideshow," she says. "I don't know why anybody would even want to go into show business these days, with all of the different magazines and shows. It just wouldn't be worth it."
Unsurprisingly, she is no fan of the paparazzi that trail her constantly, especially when they snap shots of her children.
"I just feel like it's so demeaning the way they behave, and I hate the fact that I even put any of my energy into thinking about it or being stressed about it," Roberts says. "And really, more than anything, it just has to do with my kids."
"I get pissed off because I think that it's inhuman to chase a woman with her children."
While she may dream of a life of domesticity, Roberts has no immediate plans to retire from the Industry.
She's attached to star in the drama Fireflies in the Garden, opposite Ryan Reynolds and Willem Defoe, as well as a big-screen adaptation of the novel The Friday Night Knitting Club.
Roberts is also serving as executive producer on Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, starring Abigail Breslin in the title role.
Up ahead, she says she'd like to reteam with her Pelican Brief costar Denzel Washington.
"It's been way too long since that happened," she says.
Roberts will next be seen opposite fellow Oscar-winner Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson's War, opening Christmas Day.
