CLIVE OWEN - ROBERTS' PREGNANCY DELAYED FILMING

ROBERTS' PREGNANCY DELAYED FILMING

CLIVE OWEN was so determined to star alongside JULIA ROBERTS in DUPLICITY, he forced producers to delay the start of filming until after she had given birth.
The Pretty Woman star was pregnant with her third child Henry, now 21 months, when she was approached by Owen to co-star in the movie.
And, instead of telling director Tony Gilroy that Roberts was unavailable for filming, the Brit actor made him wait to commence shooting until the baby was born in June 2007.
He tells British morning show GMTV, "Tony said to me, "Who's your dream casting for Claire?' and I said, 'Well, Julia Roberts is the perfect one', and it was his as well. So I called Julia up and then realised she was pregnant. So we waited!
"There is literally nobody better."
Roberts and husband Danny Moder also have two other children together - four-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel.
