Julia Roberts Names The 5 Actors She HATED The Most – Hollywood Stunned!
Julia Roberts, the beloved Oscar-winning actress known for her iconic roles in Pretty Woman, Erin Brockovich, and Notting Hill, has shocked fans by revealing the five actors she hated working with the most. At 58, Roberts has had a long, illustrious career, but not every co-star was a pleasure to work with.
In a candid interview, Roberts didn’t hold back, naming names and explaining why certain Hollywood A-listers made her time on set unbearable. Here’s the explosive list, along with insider details, fan reactions, and even a viral video clip that’s setting the internet ablaze.
1. Nick Nolte – “Unbearable on Set”
Roberts starred alongside Nick Nolte in the 1994 rom-com I Love Trouble, but behind the scenes, things were far from pleasant.
“Nick was… difficult,” Roberts admitted. “He had a temper, and the energy on set was tense. We didn’t mesh well at all.”
Reports from the time suggest Nolte was often unprepared, leading to constant script rewrites and delays. A crew member later revealed, “Julia was a pro, but Nick’s unpredictability made filming a nightmare.”
Fan Reaction:
“I always got bad vibes from Nick Nolte. This doesn’t surprise me!” – @MovieBuff23 (Twitter)
2. Richard Gere – “Pretty Woman, Pretty Awful Experience?”
This one hurts. Roberts and Richard Gere had undeniable chemistry in Pretty Woman (1990), but off-screen, things weren’t as magical.
“Richard was very… particular,” Roberts said carefully. “We got the job done, but let’s just say we didn’t stay in touch.”
Rumors have swirled for years that Gere was aloof and demanding. A 2019 Vanity Fair retrospective even hinted at tension, with Roberts avoiding Gere at reunions.

3. Jude Law – “Too Much Ego”
While filming Closer (2004), Roberts reportedly clashed with Jude Law.
“Jude had a way of making everything about him,” she revealed. “It wasn’t a collaborative environment.”
Law, known for his charm, allegedly arrived late and dismissed input from others. Natalie Portman, who also starred in the film, once hinted at “challenging dynamics” in an old interview.

4. James Franco – “Just Unprofessional”
Roberts worked with Franco in Mother’s Day (2016), and it seems she wasn’t impressed.
“James had… focus issues,” she said diplomatically. “It’s hard to work with someone who isn’t fully present.”
Franco’s reputation for erratic behavior (including past allegations of misconduct) aligns with Roberts’ remarks.
Fan Comment:
“Franco has always been sketchy. Good for Julia for calling it out!” – @TrueHollywoodTea (Reddit)
5. Russell Crowe – “The Worst of Them All”
The most shocking name on Roberts’ list? Russell Crowe.
“Russell was just… aggressive,” she said. “There was no respect. I wouldn’t work with him again if you paid me.”
Crowe’s infamous temper has been well-documented, including on-set outbursts during Gladiator and Les Misérables.
