It’s not about attitude problem or rivalry. It’s just about the fact that Julia Roberts can’t sit through watching Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” — even if her niece, Emma Roberts, is part of the hit FX anthology series.
According to E! News, although Roberts and Murphy have become pretty close after working together in "Eat Pray Love" and "The Normal Heart," the award-winning director has never asked Julia to do cameo in his hit anthology series, "American Horror Story."
The FX hit series was created by "Glee" co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Since it premiered in 2011, the show has received a lot of attention and recognition for its powerful acting and remarkable production.
On its third run with "AHS: Coven," the show has seen the addition of Julia's niece Emma Roberts, who has since been part of the series despite her busy schedule.
However, Julia is not convinced that she can manage to watch the series with her eyes open. She even revealed that she "can't even get though the commercials."
Julia Roberts was also quoted as saying by Gossip Cop: "I am the most fitful scaredy cat. When the first 'American Horror Story' came out, remember the first poster? I said to him, 'OK, I curse you. I stop at a traffic light and I have to look at that thing on billboards. It gives me the willies. What is that? What is going on? What have you done?'"
Nevertheless, it's good to note that Julia is pleased with her niece's craft, although she admitted that she still does not like this one. "I try to support my Emma, but I don't like it," the "Pretty Woman" star said.
Emma is headlining Murphy's another of Murphy and Falchuk's creation alongside Ian Brennan called "Scream Queens." Since it is a comedy horror, perhaps Julia can watch her niece in that one.
Meanwhile, Julia recently revealed the secret to her lasting happy marriage with cinematographer Danny Moder, who is also the father of her three kids.
In a recent interview, Julia Roberts said that having lots and lots of "kissing" is her secret ingredient to her marriage. She also hinted that communication is another ingredient when she said, "If we got to go to work together and go home together, all that work time, when you come home and 'Oh, honey, how was your day?' ... We did all that in the day and in the car. So when we got home we got to put that all away, which was really delightful."
Julia also dished that she spends time with her family when she is not working. People quoted her as saying, "I had a very nice morning with my family and went out to breakfast with my husband, and all my girlfriends came over and we played mahjong all day."
