Julia Roberts' Royal Box Gaffe at Wimbledon: 'Gasping Loudly!'

Julia Roberts Spills Juicy Gaffe and Ocean's 14 Secrets on Graham Norton Show

The Queen of Hollywood, Julia Roberts, has finally spilled the tea on her recent Wimbledon fiasco, revealing she made a major blunder in the Royal Box alongside Benedict Cumberbatch! The 57-year-old A-lister appeared on The Graham Norton Show this week with the dashing Brit and several other high-profile guests, including Colin Farrell and music icon Gloria Estefan.

In a hilarious moment that will leave fans giggling, Julia shared her embarrassing experience at Wimbledon. "I was sitting between Benedict and my husband in the Royal Box, which I was super excited about... until Benedict pointed out to me that I gasp very loudly every time the ball is struck!" The actress laughed, recalling the mortifying moment she realized she had broken the strict rule of silence in the esteemed suite. "It's impossible to be silent in that scenario!"

For those who don't know, the coveted 74-seat Royal Box at Centre Court is an exclusive space reserved for only the most prestigious guests, including members of the royal family, heads of government, and A-list celebrities like Julia. To be granted access, one must receive a special invitation from the All England Club chair – talk about VIP status!

But that's not all; Julia also dished out some juicy gossip regarding her potential return to the Ocean's franchise. When asked if she'll star in the upcoming reboot trilogy, Julia remained coy, saying she was "out of the loop" when it came to planning. The mother of three explained, "We've talked about it, but I didn't know George [Clooney] was going to announce it!" Ah, secrets and surprises – we can't wait!

Ocean's Eleven, which sparked the original movie project between Julia and her co-star George Clooney, has made over $962 million at the box office since its release in 2001. The crime caper, directed by Steven Soderbergh, starred Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bernie Mac, and Don Cheadle, among others. In this film, Danny Ocean (Clooney) masterminds a monumental heist to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously during a boxing match.

But what's even more fascinating is that Julia almost didn't get her breakout role in Mystic Pizza! Music legend Gloria Estefan, who was also on the Graham Norton Show, revealed she was initially offered the part but turned it down due to focusing on her music career. "I would have sucked," Gloria laughed, adding, "You killed it – you were wonderful!" Julia thanked Gloria for turning down the role, inadvertently giving her the big break.

This momentous opportunity catapulted Julia's career, leading her to become one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood. With a net worth exceeding $300 million and nearly $3 billion at the box office, Julia has starred in iconic films like Erin Brockovich, My Best Friend's Wedding, Eat Pray Love, Notting Hill, and many more.
