Julia Roberts has captivated fans all over the world with her iconic romantic comedy films. She has long been heralded as one of America’s sweethearts, painting the actress a picture of a very modest and prim-and-proper woman.
Amid her illustrious career and abundant projects, she would also experience feeling burned out and stressed. Some actors would take medicines to calm their nerves, but for Roberts, she startlingly confessed to taking the most potent drug in the world.
Julia Roberts Reveals Taking Hard Drugs On Andy Cohen’s Show
During her interview with Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, actress Julia Roberts confessed the hardest drug she has ever taken.
“Mushrooms. Yeah, it was nice. Not gonna lie. Kids, don’t try it at home!”
She recalled it was a positive experience for her, although she did not forget to warn the young members of the audience.
Psilocybin mushrooms, or magic mushrooms, are consumed for their hallucinogenic effects. They are considered psychedelic drugs which are illegal in many countries. When taken in large doses, it can cause health problems.
The actress has once dispelled rumors of her being dependent on drugs after she called off her wedding with Kiefer Sutherland, with her ending up in a hospital due to flu. In 1991, she told Entertainment Weekly:
“This started, I can only assume, because I was so thin. And it’s just absurd, you know. I don’t know how anybody who would do drugs could function. I don’t — nor have I ever done drugs — and I guess it’s boring to be sort of a young actor in Hollywood and not have a drug problem.”
Roberts did not elaborate on her interview with Andy Cohen when she took the mushrooms, but fans can assume it was years after this interview. She quipped:
“Well, then, I’m boring, and that’s cool with me, because I’ve got clear skin and clean arms, and I’m just thin. Period. The end. Quit picking on me, you know.”
Roberts’ revelation on Cohen’s show was indeed a shocker since the actress has profusely dissed the culture of using drugs and even the trend on vaping.
Sydney Sweeney Should Talk About Her Love For Rom-Coms On Andy Cohen’s Show
Early on the Andy Cohen’s segment, Julia Roberts was asked by an audience which movie of hers she would like to have a sequel. She responded with: “That’s a really good question, and I’ve never been asked it,” before mentioning 1997’s My Best Friend’s Wedding.
Apparently, Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney is also a fan of that movie. The actress, who recently starred in the romantic comedy film Anyone But You, claimed she loves the genre and she used it as an inspiration for her own film. She once shared via MTV UK:
“Yeah, I was gonna say My Best Friend’s Wedding. That’s my favorite.”
Since Roberts has already appeared in Andy Cohen’s show, perhaps Sweeney could also make an appearance there to talk about Anyone But You or her love for romantic comedies.
