The truth about the famous image of Julia Roberts with armpit hair
Almost 20 years after the premiere of the film "Notting Hill", the American actress breaks her silence about the photograph that went around the world
At the time of her, the image of Julia Roberts (51 years old) with her arm raised and with hair in her armpits went around the world. They were different times. It was the year 1999 when the famous actress appeared on the red carpet of the presentation of the film "Notting Hill" in London with a short-sleeved red sequined dress that she exposed her hair.
At the time, it was thought that Roberts wanted to make a feminist statement, as other familiar faces have done today, from Madonna, Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga to Amaia of "OT". The Oscar-winning performer had never wanted to talk about it, but she broke her silence on the television show "Busy Tonight."
The actress has assured in her interview that she remembers that day as if it were yesterday. Her intention was not to make a feminist claim or a statement about beauty standards, as she reveals herself. She went by mistake: “I think she hadn't really calculated the length of the sleeve nor the movement of the greeting to my followers. That revealed personal things about me. I will never forget".
And she added: "So it was not so much an affirmation, but a part of the affirmation that I make as a human on the planet, for myself." During her interview, Roberts also explained that she is past the stage of doing romantic comedies. At this moment in her life, she assures that these types of roles no longer go with her.
She has decided to make the leap to the small screen as producer and protagonist of the intrigue series "Homecoming". "For me it's not about film or television, it's about whether there's a good story behind it," she explained.
