Pretty Woman, The Pelican Affair, Notting Hill: Julia Roberts imagines the destiny of her heroines

How did his romantic relationships with Richard Gere, Denzel Washington or Hugh Grant evolve? The star responds!

On the occasion of the broadcast on Netflix of World after usby Sam Esmail (Mr. Robot), Julia Roberts responded with humor to CBS about the evolution of its most popular heroines. For example, what would become of Vivian, that of Pretty Womanin 2023? “Oh, I think Edward (his partner in the film, played by Richard Gere, editor’s note), is dead, Assumed the queen of romcoms. He died of a heart attack while sleeping, without suffering, smiling. Now she’s the one running her business.”

If this romantic comedy launched his international career in 1990, Julia Roberts then reunited with the actor at the very end of this decade to Just Married (or almost) from the same director, Garry Marshall. “There they remained together, she replies, laughing. He’s not dead this time. They’re still a couple.”

Pretty Woman: Julia Roberts’ character should have died of an overdose

What happened to Darby and Thomas, The Pelican Affair ? In this thriller inspired by a novel by John Grisham, released in 1992 at the cinema, his character is not not shown officially as a couple with his playing partner, Denzel Washington. “For me, they are together at the end of the film, Roberts retorts point-for-tat. The way he responds about his source, me, and the way my character lowers his head and blushes. For me, it’s clear, that’s what I’ve always thought, and I think the spectators do too. He loves her, she loves him.”

Note that the duo should have reformed to The World After Usbut that Denzel Washington was ultimately replaced by Mahershala Ali.

Same question about Love at first sight in Notting Hill (1999). Did movie star Anna Scott pursue acting? Or did she give up everything for her English bookseller, William (Hugh Grant)? “She gave up this job, she decides. She had six children with him, and managed to maintain her figure spectacularly. He still runs his bookstore and they have set up a small haberdashery next door, which she manages.”
