They are undoubtedly one of the most perfect combinations in Hollywood, and although they had romances in fiction, that did not translate into real life.
If there is a couple that was characterized by always having incredible chemistry without ever having a relationship in real life, that is without a doubt the one that Julia Roberts and George Clooney formed for years. They were never dating, but in the movies they always had a unique connection, rarely seen.
George Clooney and Julia Roberts have been among the most desired in the mecca of cinema for years, being two of the most coveted by everyone. Meanwhile, they maintain a close relationship between them both in front of the cameras and in real life.
And it is a great, close friendship, which has never transcended to the romantic level regardless of the very good combination they show in front of the cameras. Why did they never become a couple?
The actors have starred in several films together. His screen credits include The Big Hustle (2001), Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002), The New Big Hustle (2004), The Money Master (2016) and A Passage to Heaven (2022).
Some time ago, in an interview with Access Hollywood, the stars talked about this friendship that never went any further and revealed the reasons why they did not become boyfriends.
Asked about their first impression of each other, George Clooney responded that she "made me laugh," while Julia Roberts described her colleague as "nice." As for the quality they admire most about each other, he said he respects her "kindness" and she admires her "strength."
They were then asked if they had any rules or guidelines they had agreed upon about not dating, to which the actor explained that they never felt the need to take their relationship to "a different level."
"Julia was always in a relationship, or I was in a relationship. And right away we were friends. So it was nothing, but for us, it's been nothing more than fun. So, I don't think that was ever a reality.", explained the interpreter, responding to a question that we all asked ourselves for years.
