JULIA ROBERTS - ROBERTS: 'I HATE BEING FILMED AND PHOTOGRAPHED'

Actress JULIA ROBERTS hates being the focus of camera lenses, despite working in front of them for a living.

The ERIN BROCKOVICH beauty - who's just given birth to twins with her husband DANNY MODER - is always reduced to a nervous wreck in the presence of prying photographers and cameramen.

She says, "I feel so stupid when I'm being photographed. And I feel only slightly less stupid when I'm being filmed in the movies!"

Roberts also says she feels "goofy and nervous" during photo sessions, reports website PAGESIX.COM.

However, after playing a professional photographer in MIKE NICHOLS' new movie, CLOSER, she's discovered handling a camera "instantly makes you the coolest person in the room".
