When George Clooney Met Julia Roberts (Don't Believe the Reports) (some fun for us all!)

'Julia Roberts began the interview with a question: “Is George causing problems already?”

Her friend and frequent co-star George Clooney had preceded Roberts on our video call, dialing in from the Provence estate he shares with his wife, Amal. But the room he was sitting in was so streaked with sunlight that Clooney could barely be glimpsed amid all the lens flares, and as Roberts joined us, he was pulling patterned window curtains shut to no avail.

“Are you trying to show how outer your inner radiance is with this flare?” Roberts said.

Clooney peered at her Zoom thumbnail. “You’re one to talk with that soft lens,” he cracked.

“I have a 25-year-old computer!” Roberts said.

Rat-a-tat teasing is how Roberts and Clooney prefer to communicate: “It’s our natural rhythm of joyful noise,” she said. Their rapport has sustained a big-screen partnership spanning several films, from “Ocean’s Eleven” in 2001 to their newest entry, the romantic comedy “Ticket to Paradise” (Oct. 21), which casts them as warring exes who reunite to stop the surprise wedding of their daughter (Kaitlyn Dever) to a seaweed farmer (Maxime Bouttier) she met during a graduation trip to Bali. As her divorced parents team up, their old spark is rekindled; by the end of the movie, they’ve gone from exes to something like XO.'>>>
