Julia Roberts Says Hollywood Is Still 'Super-Male' in New Times Interview

She credits a fearless approach, shaped by parenthood, for choosing Luca Guadagnino’s After the Hunt.

Overview

  • Roberts told The Sunday Times she often finds herself one of only two women at decision-making tables and described the industry as "still super-male."
  • In discussing how she navigates those rooms, she said she is "without fear" in such environments.
  • She explained that becoming a parent made her refuse jobs unless fully committed, and that her uncertainty about whether she liked or understood Alma drew her to the role.
  • After the Hunt features Roberts as a Yale professor entangled in fallout from a PhD student's accusation against a professor, with Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri co-starring under Guadagnino’s direction.
  • U.S. theatrical release is set for October, with outlets variously citing October 10 or October 17.
