Eric Roberts Shades Julia Roberts’ Performance in ‘Steel Magnolias’: ‘Nobody Was Great In That Movie’ – Us Weekly

In a surprising turn of events, actor Eric Roberts has thrown some shade at his famous sister Julia Roberts’ performance in the beloved film “Steel Magnolias.” In an interview with Us Weekly, Eric made some controversial comments about the iconic movie, stating, “Nobody was great in that movie.”

The 65-year-old actor, who is known for his roles in films such as “The Dark Knight” and “Runaway Train,” went on to say that he believes the film’s director, Herbert Ross, was to blame for the lackluster performances in “Steel Magnolias.” Eric claimed that Ross didn’t give the actors enough direction, resulting in a less than stellar final product.

Julia Roberts, who won critical acclaim for her role as Shelby in the 1989 film, has yet to respond to her brother’s comments. Fans of the actress and the movie have taken to social media to express their disbelief at Eric’s remarks, with many defending Julia’s performance as one of her best.

Despite the controversy, Eric Roberts remains unapologetic about his opinion on “Steel Magnolias.” Whether or not Julia Roberts will address her brother’s comments remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – this family feud is definitely making headlines.
