Hollywood actress Julia Roberts recently discussed the idea of starring in a remake of ‘Pretty Woman.’ Roberts, who portrayed Vivian Ward in the 1990 romantic comedy, expressed that it would be challenging for her to take on such a role today due to evolving societal perspectives. She mentioned that the changes in world views over the years would make it difficult for her to embody the innocence of her character from the original film.
Roberts acknowledged the shifting opinions surrounding ‘Pretty Woman,’ a movie where her character engages in a relationship with a wealthy businessman. She recognized that as time passes and cultures evolve, certain aspects of older films may no longer align with contemporary values. The actress emphasized the impact of changing times on art and entertainment, noting the evolution of ideas and societal norms.
Reflecting on her past roles, Roberts also shared insights about her experience working on the 1999 film ‘Notting Hill.’ In this movie, she played a Hollywood star who falls in love with a bookstore owner in London. Initially skeptical of the film’s premise, Roberts admitted that she found the concept “stupid” when first approached for the project.
