Julia Roberts was obviously doing a lot more than just eating, praying and loving when she was shooting part of her last movie in Italy.

And do you blame her? The Oscar-winning actress reportedly earned $1.5 million to utilize her trademark killer grin for a mere 45 seconds in a new commercial airing only in Europe. Not to mention, she didn't even have to utter a single word.

The spot for Lavazza's A Modo Mio coffee features Roberts as a model who is reluctant to smile for the artist painting her. That is, until somebody hands her that paycheck a warm cup of the product she's promoting!
