Eric Roberts Claims He’s ‘Not Supposed To Talk’ About Famous Sister Julia And Daughter Emma

Actor Eric Roberts is opening up about why he rarely publicly speaks about his Oscar-winning sister, Julia Roberts, and his actor daughter, Emma Roberts.

“I am in love with my daughter’s work these days,” he gushed. “Like, I can’t believe how great she’s become.”

“I’m so proud of her I can’t see straight. Since her performance in ‘Maybe I Do’ until right now, she overwhelms me with pride and just, ‘Oh, my God, here she goes again,’” he added. “And I’m just so happy to be her dad because she’s kicking ass. And I’m so proud.”

Emma began her acting career in the early 2000s and has risen to fame after starring in multiple projects, including “Nancy Drew,” “Scream 4” and “Madame Web.”

Roberts then admitted that he has contributed “absolutely nothing” to
