She's an Oscar-winning actress and one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, but Julia Roberts has her priorities in order. In a 2017 interview with Good Housekeeping, she made her no-nonsense attitude to child-rearing clear, stating, "I think some people confuse unconditional love with spoiling. None of my kids would think I have a problem with that distinction."
Likewise, the actress was quick to inform Harper's Bazaar she doesn't have a cook or a butler, instead preferring to get her hands dirty in the kitchen, preparing meals herself. "I think people confuse the idea of having this fantastical job with somehow being a fantastical individual," she said. "Like, 'How could you possibly make breakfast?' Well, hunger is a good motivator!" Roberts went on to say, "If I wasn't here today, I'd be in the carpool lane ferrying my kids to school."
It's easy to believe her, particularly considering, as E! News noted, she lives in Malibu and not Hollywood. Plus, on those rare occasions when she's photographed, Roberts can be seen dressed casually while walking her dogs or hanging out on the sidelines at kids' soccer games. Just like any other normal working mom.
