Sad: Julia Roberts was seen filming an emotional scene with Lucas Hedges on the New York set of Ben Is Back on Tuesday morning
It seemed to hit a dramatic climax as Lucas Hedges - who plays her son in the film - was seen on his knees while clinging onto the A-lister.
The scene appeared to be emotionally charged as Julia could be seen yelling as she gets into the passenger side of her character's Subaru Outback and opens the door.
She then seemingly forces her 21-year-old co-star out of the vehicle and begins pushing him onto the lawn with the gravestones.

The story revolves around Lucas's Ben who is described as 'a charming yet troubled man who returns home to his unsuspecting family on Christmas Eve,' according to Variety.
The trade publication adds that Julia welcomes her beloved son back to the family 'but soon learns that he is still very much in harm’s way'.
Variety reported recently that Courtney B. Vance has been cast to play Julia's husband and Lucas's step-father in the film.
