Julia Roberts' brother Eric, 61, sports swimsuit on Barbadian beach on break from Michael Flatley spy thriller
Julia Roberts' big brother Eric was spotted letting it all hang out in a banana hammock on a beach in Barbados on Saturday.
The 61-year-old Oscar nominee dressed his 5ft10in form in nothing but a black swimsuit as he soaked up the sunshine on the sand and sea.
The Mississippi-born silver fox might be in his sixties, but his film career has remained prodigious with an eye-popping 481 IMDb acting credits.

On Monday, Roberts coincidentally retweeted a gif of English actress Kierston Wareing taking a full-clothed dip in a swimming pool.
'We swam in our clothes in Barbados more times than we can say,' Eric wrote.
'Kept us cool enough to finish a conversation without passing out.'
The three-time Golden Globe nominee's most famous connection to the Caribbean isle was playing a police officer in Bajan pop diva Rihanna's B**** Better Have My Money music video in 2015.

Roberts' custody battle for the 26-year-old Scream Queen was said to be the reason he was estranged for years from his 50-year-old sister, who reportedly sided with his girlfriend Kelly Cunningham.
'There was never really a feud. We're brother and sister and we both have really strong opinions about things, so it's a lot of "f*** you," "No, f*** you" and hanging up the phone,' Eric told The Daily Beast in 2010.
'But it got so blown out of proportion. We stopped talking and then with the birth of the twins we started talking again. Now we talk almost every day. I like her.'
The Medinah actor's familial ties were allegedly adversely affected by his drug use and he was arrested for possession and resisting arrest in 1987, as well as shoving his wife Eliza in 1995.
