Julia Roberts has been in some pretty epic and memorable films, but not all of them would necessarily spawn a good sequel. But there is one that came to mind when she was asked about it on Thursday’s Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, and it makes total sense.
There to promote her new film, Leave the World Behind, Roberts sat solo with Cohen for the full 30 minutes and covered plenty of topics. But it was a couple of viewer questions in particular that could very well have kick-started her next big Hollywood project.
Cohen told her that a few questions came in a lot from his viewers, including “Which of your movies would you love to do a sequel for?”
The Oscar-winning Roberts pondered the question and even said that she had never been asked that before — kudos to WWHL viewers — and then came up with her answer.
“I think maybe My Best Friend’s Wedding,” Roberts said. “Because there are so many people in it, and to see what they’re doing and how Kimmy and Michael’s marriage is going.”
After hearing her answer Cohen dug up a follow-up question from another viewer asking who Roberts thinks Michael should have married in that movie: Jules — Roberts’s character — or Kimmy, played by Cameron Diaz.
“I mean, of course Jules. But he married Kimmy,” she said.
My Best Friend’s Wedding was released in 1997, is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and is considered one of the best romantic comedies of all time, having earned Roberts Golden Globe and MTV Movie Award nominations for her performance. Joining her and Diaz in the cast were Dermot Mulroney and Rupert Everett.
Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen airs Sunday through Thursday on Bravo.
