Last month, the star opened up aboutreturning to acting after a four-year hiatus, and the differences now that all three of her kids are teenagers.
“I just take it all as it comes,” Roberts toldThe New York Timesin an interview alongside Clooney. “I try to be super present and not plan, and I don’t have any upcoming acting jobs. Getting back to a routine feels really good. And I love being at home, I love being a mom.”
“Being in Australia [to film] was really challenging because of all the Covid regulations, and I think it’s a real testament to friendship and to the creative environment we were in that it wasn’t even harder, because I’m not built to be one person anymore. It’s just not in my cellular data.”
