Julia Roberts: Family Comes First!

LOS ANGELES (GaeaTimes.com)- There is nothing new about the fact that noted actress Julia Roberts gives utmost priority to her family post her marriage and childbirth and it is for this reason she put her career on backburner for quite some time. The versatile actress who won the heart of the viewers and critics alike in films like ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ and ‘Pretty Woman’ was actually musing from the silver screen. She has three kids to take care of now and it is after a long gap that the fans will get to see her in the upcoming film ‘Eat Pray Love’. The actress revealed in an interview that she has turned down many offers because they interfered with her lifestyle post marriage. However many people did not know that she turned an athlete for her kids!

Julia Roberts amazed people by finishing a 21 km long race in California’s Oxnard. It took place in December last year. In a recent TV show the actress revealed her athletic feat which stunned many of the viewers. When she said the reason for running the marathon the viewers were even more impressed. The gorgeous actress who is 42 now said that she decided to run to make her husband and kids believe that contrary to their perceptions she is actually swift!

Julia Roberts admitted on the talk show that she herself was amazed and had no idea that she would participate in a race. She was never among the fitness freak actresses of Hollywood. Needless to say, her kids were impressed to see their star mom donning the shoes of a runner.
