Eric Roberts says his famous sister Julia forbids him from talking about her in interviews

Eric Roberts says his famous sister Julia forbids him from talking about her in interviews

Hollywood actor Eric Roberts has claimed that his Oscar-winning sister Julia has forbidden him from speaking publicly about her.

Eric, known for his roles in The Dark Knight, The consumables And Runaway train and has accumulated over 700 credits, is the older brother of the Pretty Woman And Notting Hill Star, but the two had a turbulent relationship.

His struggle with addiction led to a split from his partner Kelly Cunningham, and Julia funded Cunningham’s legal fees during a custody battle over their daughter Emma, ​​​​also a Hollywood star.

It is believed that they have repaired their relationship somewhat, but Eric has now appeared on the Still here, Hollywood Podcast in which it is taboo to talk about your sister.

“I love my sister, but I can’t talk about her. She doesn’t want to talk about it,” he said.

He added that Emma also told him not to “talk about her,” but he still couldn’t help but sing her praises.

“I am in love with my daughter’s work. I can’t believe how amazing she has turned out. I am so proud of her I can’t see straight. Since her appearance in (2023 Romcom) Maybe I’ll do it so far she just overwhelms me with pride and says, ‘Oh my God, here she goes again.’ And I’m just so happy to be her dad because she’s really giving it a blast. And I’m so proud.”

Emma herself made headlines last week when she claimed that she had been turned down for jobs in Hollywood in the past because of her famous relatives.

The American Horror Story And Madame Web The star may have been branded “Nepo babies” and thought she could benefit from this early in her career because of her connections, but she says the opposite may have been true in her case.

“I have lost more jobs than I have gained through my work in the industry,” she said Flaunt Magazine.

“People have opinions and sometimes they may not be good opinions about people in the family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, but I know I’ve definitely lost a few jobs because of it.”

It is not the first time that the younger Roberts, who is currently in Amazon’s Space Cadethas been dealing with the problems surrounding the “Nepo Baby” issue in recent weeks. In an appearance on the Table for two In her podcast released last month, she talked about how difficult it is when people assume she has it easy and ignore the setbacks she has had to endure.
