Eric Roberts’ statements
Over the years, Eric, himself a noted actor, has been known to make controversial statements about Julia’s life and career. For instance, in a 2018 interview, he took credit for Julia’s stardom before apologising for it later and saying that he made it up. He also criticised her performance in the 1989 film Steel Magnolias even though it earned her an Oscar nomination. The siblings had a falling out in 2004 before they reached a truce earlier this year. However, if a new In Touch Weekly report is to be believed, Julia has not forgiven him.
In Touch Weekly quotes an unnamed friend of Julia Roberts as saying, “Julia is 12 years younger than Eric and he had already moved out of the house by the time she was in second grade. She says Eric actually knows very little about her, and that he used her life to help sell his book is unforgivable — but she won’t tell him so. She would rather never speak to him again!” The book being referred to here is Runaway Train: or, The Story of My Life So Far, Eric’s recently-released memoir.
Born in 1956, Eric Roberts began acting in the 70s before establishing himself as a leading man with King of the Gypsies (1978). His performance in the 1985 film Runaway Train earned him an Oscar nomination. His daughter Emma Roberts is also a popular actor.
