Julia Roberts co-starred with George Clooney in 2022’s “Ticket to Paradise,” with the pair jetting off to Queensland, Australia to shoot the romantic comedy, which is set in Bali, Indonesia. Working so far away from home was challenging for Roberts, who found herself missing her husband and children while shooting the movie. Luckily, Roberts was able to lean on Clooney, with whom she previously worked on a number of movies, including 2016’s “Money Monster” and 2001’s “Ocean’s Eleven.”
Speaking to The New York Times, Roberts opened up about the support she received from George and his wife Amal, saying, “The Clooneys saved me from complete loneliness and despair.” Adding to the difficulties was the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which required that they all follow the same protocols as anyone else. “We were in a bubble, and it’s the longest I’ve ever been away from my family,” she said. “I don’t think I’ve spent that much time by myself since I was 25.”

George confirmed Roberts’ difficulties while making the film, telling the publication, “When Danny and the kids did come visit, that meant they had to fly into Sydney and quarantine for two weeks by themselves before she could see them.” Roberts and Clooney clearly have a strong bond and a supportive friendship, which helped make the “Ticket to Paradise” shoot less lonely, especially while the “Gaslit” star waited for her family to arrive.
