Julia Roberts struggles as working mother

17 March 2009  

Actress JULIA ROBERTS struggles to bring up her three young children while juggling her movie career - but credits her kids with turning her life around.

 The Pretty Woman star has stepped away from the limelight since becoming a mother to four-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, and younger son Henry, 21 months, by husband Danny Moder.
 
She began working on spy movie Duplicity last year (08) - and director Tony Gilroy happily accommodated the new mum and her tot on set.
 
Roberts says, "I think for any working mum it's a struggle and some days are certainly easier than others. You just keep going as best you can.
 
"I think Henry was six or seven months old when we started (filming Duplicity) so I did have a little a sense of tiny apprehension, but I sat down and had a long talk with Tony about it and he really seemed confident that they would happily accommodate my motherness."
 
And the actress credits motherhood with opening her eyes to a whole new perspective on life.
 
She adds, "I love it. I just like these three little people that live in my house now. They're spectacular. They inform me in ways I never could have imagined. They're so creative and open and fantasic and I'm very fortunate. It's blissful chaos."
