Julia Roberts Talks Gay Rights Equality And New Film “Eat Pray Love”

The rather gorgeous Josh Helmin of Towleroad has been talking to the equally stunning Julia Roberts about her latest film “Eat Pray Love” and her thoughts on gay rights and equality.

Talking gushingly about the film (which is somewhat unsurprising as she’s in it…) and how she felt author Elizabeth Gilbert was “funny, smart and courageous”, Helmin then cleverly moved onto the issue of  gay rights around the world, and particularly in the locations in which she filmed the movie,  and questioned her on whether she wanted to see more equality for the LGBT community in these areas.

And was Ms Roberts answer a standard “yes of course”? Well actually no. Using the question as a way to criticise the US for being slow on ironing out the many “kinks” that still exist in her own country concerning gay rights, Julia also spoke of how she felt we as a world all needed to get to point  where the focus stopped being about the gender of people and about the most important thing of all – love and accepting it exists in many forms.

You just can’t help but love her can you…
