This is the real reason why George Clooney never dated Julia Roberts

George Clooney and Julia Roberts have often played a couple. In their most recent film, Ticket to Paradise the duo play a divorced couple. But has there ever been anything more to them than friendship? George Clooney revealed to Access Hollywoodthe details of their long-time friendship.

‘She made me laugh’

Clooney remembers his first encounter with Roberts: ‘She made me laugh.’ But despite the obvious sympathy for each other, according to Bunte, it was never more than a friendship. The Ocean's Eleven actor recounts:

Julia was always in a relationship, or I was in a relationship. And we were good friends right away. So there was nothing there, but we had nothing but fun. So, I don't think that was ever really an issue.

When asked if they had a 'no-dating' pact, Julia Roberts said:

To not date each other? I don't think we needed to state it!

Infatuation for each other

Not only did Clooney gush in the interview, but the Pretty Woman actress also praised her acting partner. Bunte writes that the actress was separated from her family for a long time due to the pandemic during the shooting of this year's film Ticket to Paradise, but George saved her from loneliness, according to her own statement.

However, it is now clear that the two stars are only a couple in front of the camera and that they will always be bound by their intimate friendship. The coveted Clooney has been married to his wife, Amal since 2014 and is the father of two children.
