In a recent interview with Variety, Emma Roberts talked about her latest film projects and her experience working on the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Unfabulous.

She was asked if people had suggested projects with her famous aunt early in her career, to which she replied that “that’s still the case.”

The “Aquamarine” actress explained that while she has often been suggested projects to do with her aunt, she would “love” to find the “perfect project” they could work on together. She added: “I know something will come out of it. But it was never the right thing.”

Roberts then gushed about the Notting Hills actress, saying she was the “best” and she wanted to do something with her. She noted that she and Julia Roberts send each other “books” and talk about “stuff” but it wasn’t right, expressing that the timing and projects might not have aligned.

The Space Cadet actress also revealed that she watches her legendary aunt’s films, noting that her movies are her “comfort movies” that she watches when she’s all alone. “I have movies of hers downloaded onto my computer that I watch for comfort,” adding, “My Best Friend’s Wedding and America’s Sweethearts are my feel-good movies,” Emma Roberts said.
