'I'm the prettiest one!': Julia Roberts jokes she should have beaten Halle Berry on bikini hot lists in new InStyle interview
She's widely considered to be one of Hollywood's classic beauties.
But Julia Roberts has revealed that in her earlier years, it bothered her that she was never picked as the winner of 'hottest actresses in a bikini' lists.
'When I was younger, I'd think, "Oh, I'm the prettiest one! It's not Halle Berry!"' the 46-year-old Erin Brokovich star told InStyle as she fronted the cover of their September issue.

'When I was younger, I'd think, 'Oh, I'm the prettiest one! It's not Halle Berry!'' Julia Roberts joked about how she was never on any hottest bikini body lists as she fronted the cover of InStyle magazine for their September issue
'But it
is, you know?' the humble actress continued, explaining that she felt it
was a 'godsend' that she never made it to such lists based on her
physical appearance.
'And
that's great because I imagine at a certain point that kind of image
would become a burden,' the stunner added. 'So I don't think I've had to
deal with that too much.'
'I think I've always sort of been on the more boyish spectrum of girls,' the Oscar winner said, referring to the way she managed to avoid being placed on 'hot lists.'
Someone put her on a bikini hot list already!: The screen goddess looked fit and fabulous in 2012 while on vacation with husband Danny Moder in Hawaii
The looker has shown off an amazing bikini body in the past few years; in 2012 she looked fetching in a black bikini while on vacation with her family in Hawaii.
Posing
for the 20th Anniversary issue in an elegant black and white collared
Louis Vuitton dress complete with a belted middle, Julia flashed her
signature broad smile.
Her long highlighted blonde tresses were styled in neat waves for her photography session with Michelangelo Di Battista, which featured her in various snug ensembles posing in nature.
On the topic of appearance, Julia also told the publication that she has in fact started caring more about what she wears as the years have gone on.
She's still got it: The 46-year-old Oscar winning actress was most recently seen gracing the set of The Late Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in New York City on July 31
'I
certainly think about it more now. It used to be a friend could call me
at three in the afternoon and say, 'I have a premiere tonight. Will you
come?' And I'd just take a shower and go,' she explained, adding, 'I
wore a lot of vintage then.'
'I
had a navy military jacket and striped leggings I wore all the time,'
Julia continued. 'Those were the fun old days. People were less
judgmental, less searing in their assessment of what you dare wear to
the drugstore.'
Despite
being one of the most recognizable movie stars in the world, Julia
admitted that she too is susceptible to becoming starstruck - although
her subject is somewhat surprising.
Environmentally conscious: Julia also spoke about how she and her husband Danny, seen here in Santa Monica in 2012, raise chickens and grow their own vegetables
'Here's the most starstruck moment I can remember,' she revealed, gearing up for a confession.
'I
was doing a press junket, and I was very sick, tired, and vulnerable -
that has to be established,' said the beauty. 'I'm doing interviews, and
all of a sudden, in walks Gene Hackman.'
'I did this: 'Hi! Oh my God!' I hugged him and cried, 'you're so handsome!'
But it turns out The French Connection actor was not so receptive.
'He was very sweet, but he wanted to get away from me,' Julia confided. 'It was so embarrassing.'
Speaking about the audience she feels she speaks the most to, the My Best Friend's Wedding favourite said: 'I love the moms.'
'Even when I was 20, they were my demographic. I work for the moms.'
Multi-tasking: The Notting Hill actress, seen here with her husband Danny Moder and their children Hazel, Phinnaeus and Henry riding bikes in Malibu, said she gets caught up in work around the house
Julia is
married to cinematographer Danny Moder and together they have three
children: twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, almost ten years old, and Henry,
seven.
'I am a 1950s housewife,' the actress declared, on the topic of her life at home.
'I
have a tendency to get so caught up working inside my home. Almost to a
fault, where other things get neglected, and then I end up with a
chaotic day, trying to return phone calls and emails and hit deadlines.'
'It's
like, between the grocery shopping, the cooking, and cleaning up
everything - it's a lot,' the screen gem said, before adding modestly:
'But it's not anything that millions of other moms don't do all the
time, so there's nothing great about me doing it.'
'But it is, you know?' Julia Roberts conceded in the interview that Halle Berry, seen here at the Extant premiere in LA in June, is in fact a worthy recipient of hot body awards
And it turns out Julia and Danny's home is somewhat of a farm.
'My husband is a very healthy and environmentally minded person, so we grow food at our house,' she told the magazine.
'We raise chickens for eggs.'
The star's most recent work is her role of Dr. Emma Brookner in hit HBO telemovie The Normal Heart.
'Oh my god! You're so handsome!' Julia revealed that she once got starstruck over Gene Hackman, pictured here at a celebrity car race in California back in 1987 when the actress would have seen him
