Julia Roberts eased on down the road to Andy Cohen’s “What What Happens Live” earlier in the week to share a personal story about her and Oprah Winfrey.
Roberts was asked to share her “favorite Oprah story,” and the seasoned actor responded, “Well, my favorite story, I probably wouldn’t share here.”
But in lieu of a favorite story, Roberts went on to recount another experience she had with the former daytime talk show host.
“[Oprah] could not come to our baby shower,” she continued.
The actor then explained that she and her family reside in a “very remote place” — so remote, in fact, that it’s difficult for them to receive even the simplest of packages. But Winfrey found a way.
“[Oprah] got a truck to pull up, late at night, and had two chests, beautiful chests with baby things — one for Phinn and one for Hazel — delivered,” she said.

The “Mona Lisa Smile” actor and her family stared at the delivery driver in disbelief, recalling, “Only Oprah could do this.”

Roberts also recently shared another story — this time about an actor who honestly “scared” her. The seasoned performer, returning to screens in the film “After the Hunt” alongside Ayo Edebiri and directed by Luca Guadagnino, said the moment of fear happened during a rehearsal for the film at her home.
The “Pretty Woman” actor shared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that the actor was “the fabulous Chloë Sevigny, who I had never met before and Ayo had never met before, and Luca has worked with a number of times because she’s fabulous.”
