Hollywood stars Julia Roberts and Clive Owen shared a heartwarming reunion on stage during a prestigious event in France. The 50th César Awards in Paris honoured Roberts with an honorary award for her illustrious three-decade-long career in the film industry. The special moment was made even more memorable as her former co-star from movies like Closer and Duplicity, Clive Owen, presented her with the award.
Despite her impeccable acting skills, even Julia Roberts occasionally faces the challenge of forgetting her lines. During her acceptance speech at the award ceremony, Roberts candidly revealed that she had forgotten something crucial for the occasion. She shared that her daughter had advised her to prepare a speech, but she had accidentally left it back at her hotel. The audience warmly received her confession with understanding and support.
The renowned actress expressed her gratitude for the prestigious recognition, acknowledging the collaborative nature of the film industry. Roberts emphasised the importance of teamwork in creating cinematic masterpieces, highlighting that the art of filmmaking is a collective effort rather than an individual achievement. Her humility and sincerity resonated with the audience, earning her a genuine round of applause and admiration.
Julia Roberts, accompanied by her husband Danny Moder, proudly shares three children – twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter, both 20, and Henry Daniel, 17. Her family has been a source of strength and inspiration throughout her career, as she continues to deliver powerful performances that captivate audiences worldwide. Before her heartfelt speech, Roberts was welcomed with a standing ovation by attendees at the Olympia Theater.
The César Awards, presented by the Academy of Cinema Arts and Techniques, are esteemed accolades in the French film industry, akin to the Oscars in Hollywood. The recognition of Julia Roberts with an honorary César award symbolises her enduring influence and exceptional talent that transcends cultural boundaries. Clive Owen, in his introduction of Roberts, praised her as not only a movie star but also a cultural icon known for her intelligence, warmth, and integrity.
In addition to the César Award, Julia Roberts was bestowed with the title of Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) by the French Minister of Culture, Rachida Tati. This prestigious honour further underscores Roberts’ significant contributions to the arts and her lasting impact on the global entertainment landscape. Her niece, Emma Roberts, attested to the comforting and inspiring nature of Julia’s films, highlighting the actress’s enduring appeal and emotional connection with viewers.
As Julia Roberts continues to enchant audiences with her captivating performances, her upcoming film ‘After the Hunt’, slated for release in October 2025, promises to showcase her exceptional talent once again. Through her dedication to her craft and her ability to touch hearts with her on-screen presence, Roberts remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry. Her reunion with Clive Owen on the César Awards stage served as a poignant reminder of the enduring magic of their collaboration and the timeless grace of their on-screen chemistry.
