It's hard to pinpoint exactly when my love for Julia Roberts started. There's a good chance it was the first time I watched "Pretty Woman," when I was wayyyy too young to be watching a film of that nature. I'll never forget thinking that the condoms she pulled out of her boot were actually lollipops and being confused why Richard Gere didn't immediately choose the purple one because grape is obviously the best.
Her laugh is infectious, and even though I didn't understand the real plot of the movie until many years later, I grew up hoping I'd someday find someone who could make me laugh like this.
The love grew after I saw some of Julia's other earlier films, like "Runaway Bride," "Sleeping with the Enemy" and of course, "Erin Brockovich." Is there anything more bad*ss than a single working mother fighting for what she believes is right, no matter the cost?
Now, in what is (kinda sadly, TBH) the best news I've heard all week, our dear Julia has finally joined Instagram and come fully into the 21st century. For real, how is it possible that this woman is 50 years old and still looks like THIS?!
OK lady, I get what you're saying with this t-shirt, but I'm pretty sure if anyone could make everyone happy, it's you. Though avocados are pretty great, too.
Let's all say a little prayer that we get some solid behind-the-scenes pics from her movies over the years. Perhaps a little Javier Bardem from "Eat, Pray, Love"? Or, you know, literally ANY pictures of her and George Clooney together, considering they're BFF goals if I've ever seen some. I, for one, would not complain.
