Julia Roberts was far away from family while filming but luckily for her, co-star and good pal, George Clooney, was there to keep her company.

The 54-year-old actress and 61-year-old actor spoke to in a new interview about quarantining close to one another in Australia while working on the upcoming film.«We started in Hamilton Island, with all these wild birds, and Julia had the house down just below Amal and me and the kids,» Clooney shared, referring to his wife, Amal Clooney, and 5-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella. «I would come out in the early mornings and be like, 'Caa-caa,' and Julia would come out and be like, 'Caa-caa.' And then we'd bring her down a cup of coffee.

She was Aunt Juju to my kids.»For Roberts, it was more than just the coffee delivery from the Clooneys that kept her going while she was away from her husband of 20 years, Danny Moder, and their three children, Hazel, Phinnaeus, and Henry Daniel. «The Clooneys saved me from complete loneliness and despair,» Roberts said. «We were in a bubble, and it's the longest I've ever been away from my family.

I don't think I've spent that much time by myself since I was 25.»While the two have been longtime friends, they found it a tad bit difficult to share an onscreen kiss in, in which they star as exes who reunite in an attempt to stop their daughter from going through with her destination wedding in Bali. «It took 79 takes of us laughing and then the one take of us kissing,» Roberts said of she and Clooney not being able to contain their laughter.Roberts previously opened up about her decision to return to the big screen for a romcom, explaining Clooney played a big part in it.«People sometimes misconstrue the amount of time that's gone by that I haven't.
