Eric Roberts has made some family matters public.
During a conversation on the “Still Here in Hollywood Podcast with Steve Kmetko,” Roberts was asked about his famous sister Julia Roberts.
“You’ll have to ask her,” he said. “I love my sister, but I can’t talk about her. She doesn’t want to talk about it.”
The same goes for his equally famous daughter, actress Emma Roberts.
“My daughter also told me not to talk about her, but I stumble and do it,” her father said. “I shouldn’t talk about either of them. But I do.”
But a proud father can only hold back to a certain extent, and so Roberts ended up praising his son.
“I’m so in love with my daughter’s work I can’t believe it. I can’t believe how great she’s turned out,” he said. “I’m so proud of her I can hardly see straight.”
Eric Roberts has appeared in hundreds of films, including The Pope of Greenwich Village, The Expendables, and Star 80.
His sister, of course, has starred in many popular films, including “Pizza Pizza,” “Erin Brockovich,” “Pretty Woman,” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding.”
Emma Roberts has made a name for herself in numerous projects, including “Nancy Drew,” “Space Cadet,” and “Madame Web.”
CNN has contacted representatives for Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts for comment.
