Are Brianne Howey and Julia Roberts related?

Brianne Howey and Julia Roberts are not related although it's understandable why people would raise this assumption. Ever since she appeared in The Exorcist, Brianne Howey has been compared to Roberts because of how similar they look. Now that Howey has risen to fame as a lead, the actor has even more sets of eyes and mouth asking her the same question. In fact, a few have even dedicated a number of Reddit threads to point her resemblance to many actors.

On top of that, her introduction scene where she leans up against the car makes the Julia Roberts reference even more obvious with the recreation of Pretty Woman. Alternatively, many have also claimed that Brianne Howey looks like Julia's niece Emma Roberts, who is popular for her performance as a lead in comedy-horror show Scream Queens. Ironically, Howey has also starred in Scream Queens as a cameo for two episodes, where they both shared screens. Here's what spectators have to say - 

The Julia Roberts look-alike was born and brought up in Pasadena, California before moving to New York to pursue acting school. With more than a decade in the industry, the actress has accumulated a number of popular movies and series under her radar, the most notable being The Passage, Batwoman, Horrible Bosses 2 and Dollface. Though she made her debut in the uber-successful 90210 (Beverly Hills), the actor had to see a fair share of ups and downs before finally landing the role as the female lead in Ginny and Georgia, where she ultimately made her breakthrough. She is currently dating Matt Ziering, a California-based Regulatory advisor, with whom she has completed more than a decade and is in the talks of tying the knot soon.
