When we finished Pretty Woman, we all thought we'd had the best fun on the worst film

Star worried flick was a big mistake...huge!

WHEN the Golden Globes ceremony takes place tomorrow, all eyes will once again be on Julia Roberts.

A veteran of the silver screen with some 70 films under her belt, she is up for best actress against Jessie Buckley, Jennifer Lawrence, Tessa Thompson, Eva Victor and Renate Reinsve.

The nomination is for her role in psychological thriller After the Hunt, in which Julia stars as Yale professor Alma Imhoff, who is pushed to the limit when a student makes a shock allegation against one of her colleagues.

It is a performance for which the 58-year-old mum of three is also being tipped as an Oscar nominee - 25 years after she won her first Academy Award for Erin Brockovich, in 2001.

Many still remember the actress most as Vivian in Pretty Woman, the movie that propelled her to stardom 35 years ago.

Incredibly, she and her castmate Richard Gere, 76, feared the film about a romance between a billionaire and an escort would bomb. Julia says: "We didn't know what we were doing.

"I'd sort of say to Richard, 'What are we doing?' He goes, 'I don't know." On set, director Garry Marshall would simply instruct Julia to be funny.

She says, "I was like, 'OK, so a man walks into a bar... We were really shooting from the hip for sure."

With a flash of her famous smile, she adds: "When we finished, we all kind of thought, 'We just had the most fun making the worst movie in Hollywood'."
