Julia Roberts on having a thick skin to brave the changing industry winds

The conversation with People also saw the actress discuss a recently resurfaced video of hers which many are mistaking to be a reflection of her current point of view. The video shows Julia express hurt over the kind of comments a picture of her posted by her niece Emma Roberts, received. She was 50 at the time. Clarifying her age as well as her newly assumed uncaring attitude over internet trolling, Roberts pointed out how the issue at hand is still the same. 

She said, "So many people think that's a new interview. But I clearly say, 'I'm a 50 year old woman'. Well I'm 56. But the fact that I'm still here, and this vitriol is still happening six years later, shows how little progress we've made." Looping her conversation back to the recently passed International Women's Day, the actress added, "All of you gents, hold us up a little higher".
