Julia Roberts opened up about parenthood in a new interview with longtime friend George Clooney.
The veteran actors had a conversation for 57-year-old Julia’s new cover story for the inaugural issue of 72 Magazine.
The mother-of-three — who recently posed with niece Emma Roberts — shares twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 20, and son Henry, 18, with longtime husband Danny Moder.
According to an excerpt obtained by Us Weekly, Julia got candid about raising their brood, describing them as ‘stricter parents’ that others in their community.
Asked if she limited her kids’ internet access when they were growing up, the actress said, ‘I think they were, for sure, some of the last kids in their peer groups to get phones and stuff like that.
‘When they were younger, certainly, Danny and I would have been considered some of the stricter parents. Not like we’re laying down the law, but these are the rules and they don’t change. Here’s the boundary of your life and it does not shift. You know, you don’t ask me and get an answer and then go ask dad and get a different answer. That doesn’t happen. It will never happen.’

She added, ‘I think that is what creates the stability that then allows them to feel secure because you know there is this fixed world of love and safety that exists unconditionally.’
In another part of the dialogue, which will be published in full on September 12, the Notting Hill star shared, ‘You know, we all want our kids to grow up with values. This is what we want as parents.
‘I think part of it is just Danny and I are definitely aligned in our core values and always have been.’
Julia noted about when her children discovered she’s famous, ‘And I think when kids are little, kids only know what you let them know. I can’t even tell you how old my kids probably were when they really understood my place in a work world.’
The longtime entertainer and her cinematographer spouse celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary on July 4.
And in May Danny marked Mother’s Day by sharing a photo of his wife and their brood, writing, ‘Mothers make the coolest stuff. Love these guys.’
In June, the Stepmom sensation used Instagram to pay tribute to Henry on his birthday.
She shared a throwback image from his childhood and added the note, ‘In the blink of a joyful eye this beacon of a boy is 18. I love you Henry. #goldenboy #goldenbirthday.’

Julia recently unveiled a fresh look when new images from her upcoming movie After The Hunt were shared online.
She traded her ginger head of curls for a long blonde bob as she transformed into character as Alma Olsson.
The film, in theaters October 10, also stars Andrew Garfield, Ayo Edebiri, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Chloë Sevigny.
From director Luca Guadagnino, an official synopsis describes the project as ‘a gripping psychological drama about a college professor (Julia) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Ayo) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Andrew), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light.’
