Hollywood actress Julia Roberts has revealed that she deliberately hides her career from her children, as she doesn’t want to ruin the magic of flicks for them.

The ‘Pretty Woman’ actress, who is a mother of twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 4, and Henry, 2, may be one of the most renowned actresses in the world, but her kids are oblivious of the fact.

“They don’t know what I do - yet. I kind of like it that way. I don’t know what they’re going to ask me when they do realise and I don’t know what I’m going to tell them, because I want movies to stay special for them for as long as possible,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling New magazine.

Julia has revealed that she has already lied to daughter Hazel about the basics of filmmaking. “My daughter said to me the other day that Maria in The Sound Of Music sounded a lot like Mary Poppins.

I said it’s because they’re both English! I didn’t want to say, ‘Well, it’s because Mary Poppins is really Julie Andrews, who’s an actress,’ because that would burst that perfect bubble. So I prefer not to deal with it right now,” she said.
