Julia Roberts thinks Clive Owen is a funny lover. The actress - who previously worked with the British actor on 2004 drama "Closer" - admits the pair got into trouble while shooting raunchy scenes for new movie 'Duplicity' because they couldn't stop laughing.

When asked if she enjoyed getting close to the hunky actor, Julia told TV show Entertainment Tonight: "We did laugh the whole time. We've got a very similar sense of humor. The poor director, Tony Gilroy, had to have a lot of patience. The steamier it got the funnier we found it."

Julia Roberts finds red carpet appearances "terrifying." The 41-year-old actress came out of retirement to star alongside Clive Owen in new spy film "Duplicity," but admits she found Tuesday night's London premiere intimidating.

She said: "The red carpet is just terrifying, awful. It's scary out there - but it's nice."

Julia Roberts doesn't want her children to be actors. The "Duplicity" actress - who has four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and 20-month-old son Henry with husband Daniel Moder - will not allow her kids to pursue Hollywood careers until they are fully grown.

She said: "My first instinct is that if my children wanted to be artists, that they wait. I would prefer that they just wait as long as they can."

Julia Roberts "loves" Clive Owen. The "Pretty Woman" actress has so much "chemistry" with the British actor she came out of retirement to star alongside him in upcoming spy film "Duplicity."

She said: "I love Clive and we have chemistry because we have a similar spirit and energy. We had to be all serious and sexy but after the director said 'Cut' we would just be laughing."
