“I’m not supposed to talk about either of them. But I do,” Eric Roberts said about his famous sister and daughter.
The “Dark Knight” actor, 68, wouldn’t talk about his sister Julia Roberts on the July 8 episode of Steve Kmetko’s“I love my sister, but I can’t talk about her,” Eric continued. “She don’t want to talk about it.”Prince Harry's UK comeback will be without Meghan Markle, prominent royal author predictsEric also said his daughter Emma Roberts “told me also not to talk about her, but I stumbled and do.”But Eric broke his rule later in the podcast when he praised Emma, 33, and her acting chops.
Kmetko asked Eric if he’s responsible for Emma’s success, to which he responded, “Absolutely nothing. Except I gave her that name.”The “King of the Gypsies” star has on numerous occasions spoken about his famous family members, including Julia, 56. The siblings, who also have a sister, Lisa Roberts Gillan, were estranged until 2004 when Julia and her husband, Danny Moder, welcomed“I wouldn’t characterize it as a falling-out. I was crazy about my sisters. Loved them, adored them,” he said. “They were precious to me, and we had times of great closeness. We all felt very protective of each other, but the hardest person to protect yourself from is yourself.
“I was exhausting to be around: complainy, blamey, unable to enjoy enjoyment,” Eric added. “Everyone in my world needed a break sometimes, and that must have included Julia.” “My sister and I, we’ve always talked, we’ve always bitched. I’ve always had fun, known each other. Simple as that,” he explained. “I love knowing my sister. She’s a cool chick, my sister. … She’s doing a lot of stuff and … I don’t ignore it. I just stay out of her hair with the press. That’s all. And she stays out of mine.”Emma, however, recently said in an interview that she’s “never gotten a job” because of her famous father and aunt, but rather “lost a couple” of roles because of them.
