Eric Roberts Apologizes For Taking Credit For Sister Julia Roberts’ Fame, But She’s Been Open About Denzel Washington Having The Major Impact



Longtime actor and Julia Roberts’ brother Eric Roberts has a new book coming out, and he made headlines yesterday when he apologized to the Pretty Woman actress for viral comments he’d made about her career. Intriguingly, in the past Ms. Roberts has been candid about an actor that did have a major impact on her career, and it wasn’t her brother. It was Denzel Washington.

Back in 2018, the Runaway Train Oscar nominee spoke with Vanity Fair and made an oft repeated claim that if it wasn’t for him, the (more famous) women in his family might not have made it in the business. What he seemed to be getting at was that he was famous before Julia and, later, his daughter Emma made names for themselves, but I don’t think the quote went viral in a bad way.

If it wasn’t for me, there would be no Julia Roberts and no Emma Roberts as celebrities, as actresses, and I’m very proud of that.
