Julia Roberts discussed her latest film, After the Hunt, and her challenging scenes with co-star Andrew Garfield during a Good Morning America interview on October 8. The actress revealed how working alongside Garfield on an intense sequence made her physically break a sweat while filming in New York City.
Roberts described their collaboration on the scene, saying,
“First take, [Andrew] just blows in and has this great scene,”
followed by,
“And you know, it’s a long scene and then it’s over. You know, ‘Cut.’”
She added,
“I was just like, ‘Whoa, I’m sweating,’”
revealing the demanding nature of the shoot.
Collaboration With Ayo Edebiri and Director Luca Guadagnino
The film, directed by Luca Guadagnino, known for his work on Challengers, also stars Ayo Edebiri from The Bear. Roberts expressed admiration for Edebiri’s unique perspective and creative contribution, stating,
“It’s been really such a beautiful thing to sit next to Ayo, who I really admire and adore, and to listen to the words she chooses, and the way that she sees the world and this movie.”
Reviving an Iconic Look With a Modern Twist
Outside her film work, Roberts recently revisited one of her most memorable fashion moments from the 1990 Golden Globes during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. She wore a gray suit updated with a “grandmacore” flair—a nod to her classic Giorgio Armani double-breasted peak lapel blazer and pleated pants, now modernized with a navy tie adorned with nine vintage brooches including whimsical shapes like frogs and bumble bees.
The actress completed her look with patent leather heels, jeweled hoop earrings, and carried a black Polène handbag. Her longtime stylist, Elizabeth Stewart—who also styles stars such as Cate Blanchett and Amanda Seyfried—helped craft this updated ensemble.
