Eric appeared on Behind the Velvet Rope with David Yontef this week, and during the veteran actor’s long chat about his time in the biz, he spoke to host David Yontef about the status of his relationship with his younger sister. Yontef didn’t miss a beat by bringing it up in the first place, asking Eric to open up about the 54-year-old superstar.
In response, the elder Roberts revealed he and Julia “have always been fine,” and tried to explain why rumors of a rift had come about in the first place. According to the Runaway Train star, the drama started during a press junket years ago, and quickly spiraled beyond his control:
Oh no!
From there, Eric recalled, things got out of hand within the gossip world, and quickly went far beyond what he thought his off-handed joking remark would become:
Moving past the point of that infamous first comment that snowballed into a rift, Eric pontificated more on the nature of his overall connection to his younger sister, too. He acknowledged that the two of them “don’t agree on a lot of things,” but said they nevertheless have a good relationship and a meaningful connection. He also gushed about her ability to balance parenting with a very demanding career:
Wow! Seems pretty simple, indeed.
There is one thing about Julia’s life that Eric loves above all others, though: being an uncle to the Erin Brockovich star’s three children!
