LOS ANGELES, Nov 14: “Pretty Woman” actress Julia Roberts met nine women, who share her name.
The 48-year-old actress took the stage alongside late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, for a planned introduction to those nine women across the continent, from Arizona to Canada, reported E! Online.
“I guess I am self-centered and it never occurred to me that anybody else would be named Julia Roberts. I didn’t think no one would be; I just never thought about it,” she said.
Kimmel brought together all the women through a live video conference.
One by one, the women shared unexpected conveniences and quirks of sharing a name with the A-list celebrity, including posh hotel rooms and convenient dinner reservations.
A woman from Canada said she recently took a trip to an ashram in India.
“Nobody called me Julia. They called me Eat Pray Love,” she said.
Another woman said, “They ask me to verify who I am any on occasion I used my credit or debit card.”
“Say, I’ll call Richard Gere and he will tell you,” the star joked. (PTI)
