Brrrr-ing it on! Julia Roberts, 50, looks youthful in slacker beanie as she bundles up to shoot Ben Is Back with Lucas Hedges in chilly New York
The snow is still thick on the ground in Yonkers, New York.
But Julia Roberts seemed to be coping with the sub-freezing temperature of just 30F when she was spotted out filming a scene for the drama Ben Is Back on Monday after the holiday break.
The 50-year-old actress was dressed in a green parka coat trimmed with faux fur around the hood, a purple turtleneck sweater, jeans and brown leather boots as she walked along the icy sidewalk.

She pulled a knitted grey hat over her dark red tresses as she smiled at co-star Lucas Hedges, carrying a tan leather Madewell handbag over one arm.
The 21-year-old was also warmly dressed in a teal hoodie that he wore under a black and grey zip-up jacket, well-worn baggy jeans and Timberland-style boots.

The couple were no doubt relieved when filming moved to an indoor shopping mall in nearby White Plains where Julia brought two smoothies to a table where an older man was already eating.
Lucas plays Ben Burns, the beloved son of Julia's Holly Burns, who returns to his family home on Christmas Eve after a long absence, putting everyone in danger.

Julia is normally based in Los Angeles where she lives with her cinematographer husband Daniel Moder, 48, and their children, twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 12, and 10-year-old Henry.
The pair first met when she was making The Mexican in 2000, in which she starred opposite Brad Pitt and Danny was the cinematographer.
