‘I Saw Her Through Such Innocent Eyes Then’: Julia Roberts Explains How Her View Of Her My Best Friend’s Wedding Character Has Changed Over The Years

Dermot Mulroney and Julia Roberts in My Best Friend's Wedding.

Julia Roberts has starred in some of the best romantic comedies of all time, from Pretty Woman to Notting Hill. In each one, she's played a variety roles, which one would think she has varying levels of affection for. However, the actress recently revealed that she has a newfound perspective the character she played in My Best Friend's Wedding, which remains one of Roberts' her most beloved rom-coms.

In the 1997 flick, the star plays Julianne "Jules" Potter, a single NYC food critic who had made a pact with her lifelong friend, Chicago sportswriter, Michael O'Neal (Dermot Mulroney), that they would get together if they were 28 years old and still unmarried. (And yes, we still think is a totally insane idea.) That all changes when Michael announces that he's engaged to bubbly college co-ed Kimberley (Cameron Diaz), much to Jules' heartbreak, which leads the latter to kick off a campaign to sabotage the wedding.
