Julia Roberts gets real about 'hardest drug' on 'Watch What Happens Live': 'Kids, don't try it at home'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live' with host Andy Cohen, Hollywood icon Julia Roberts didn't shy away from candid revelations.
During the 'Plead the Filth' segment, Roberts shared insights into her movies, and opinions on Real Housewives, and even opened up about her experience with a particular substance.
Revelations with Julia Roberts
Cohen's 'Plead the Filth' is known for its rapid-fire interrogation, and Roberts faced intriguing questions. When asked to rank her three biggest movies—'Notting Hill', 'My Best Friend's Wedding', and 'Pretty Woman'—Roberts opted to plead the fifth, emphasizing the challenge of choosing among her beloved roles.
Addressing her least favorite Real Housewives star, Roberts didn't hold back and named Jen Shah, currently serving a prison sentence. Humorously explaining her choice, Roberts said, "I'm just saying that 'cause she's in prison, and I feel safe."
Cohen delved into the realm of personal experiences, asking Roberts about the "hardest drug" she'd ever tried. Breaking the norm, Roberts openly shared, "Mushrooms," adding, "Yeah, it was nice, not gonna lie." Following her candid admission, she responsibly urged, "Kids, don't try it at home."
Promotion of 'leave the world' behind and critical reception
The interview coincided with the release of Roberts' latest movie, 'Leave the World Behind', on Netflix. The film, featuring a star-studded cast including Ethan Hawke, Mahershala Ali, Kevin Bacon, and Myha'la Jael Herrold, explores a family vacation interrupted by strangers bearing news of a blackout.
With a current 75 percent score on Rotten Tomato's Tomatometer and a 65 percent audience score, the film has received varied critical opinions. Critics describe it as an unsettling and well-acted experience with layers and cautionary warnings, praising the stellar cast and Netflix's production quality.
The film's synopsis reads: "A family vacation on Long Island is interrupted by two strangers bearing news of a blackout. As the threat grows, both families must decide how best to survive the potential crisis, all while grappling with their own place in this collapsing world."
