Julia Roberts recalls her time spent in Notting Hill

Julia Roberts has revealed recently that she has always has fond memories of London because of the well known and successful movie, Notting Hill. Julia Roberts played the megastar Anna Scott, who fell for Notting Hill bookshop owner, namely Hugh Grant, in the 1999 movie.

Julia was recently quoted as saying "I loved making Notting Hill, it's such a sweet movie and I guess when I come to London I think of all the fun things that we did and [the director] Roger Michell and just that whole time was so lovely, so I have great happy feelings when I come here. And I love the rain."

Weather aside, Julia was also commented as saying she can't even compare spending time in London and New York, where much of her new movie Duplicity was filmed. "They're just different entities to me. I think of them as completely different lives,"

One of the biggest scenes in Duplicity was shot in New York's Grand Central Station, which gave the stars a welcome break to head out of the studio and onto the streets of the lively New York., however Director Tony Gilroy, was quoted as saying "The difficulty to take movie stars out onto the streets of New York City and in Rome is really exhausting, it really is. It's really hard to do." Still it is well documented that happy stars make for better movies and the film Duplicity, also starring Clive Owen, was released on March 20th and is currently receiving good reviews.
