It turns out something romantic could potentially have happened between George Clooney and Julia Roberts way back when, but it was always written in the stars for these two to just be nothing more than good friends. The two were asked if they ever had a pact never to cross that line during an October interview with “Access,” to which Roberts admitted, “I don’t think we had to!” Clooney then noted, “Julia was always in a relationship, or I was in a relationship. And we were fast friends right away. So it was nothing, but it’s been nothing but fun for us. So, I don’t think that was ever really a thing.” Fair enough!

That’s probably why the kissing scenes in the movie were a little awkward for the George and Roberts to film, as the duo revealed a lot of the smooching had to go down while Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney, and children, Alexander and Ella Clooney, were around. “It’s like, ‘Papa, oh, Auntie Juju.’ It’s like — ‘Get ’em out, get ’em out!'” Roberts told “Today,” as George added, jokingly imitating his children, “It’s really bad. ‘What are you doing, Papa? What is that?'” Awks.

But, as we know, these two are more than happy as friends and more than happy in their personal lives. Roberts has been happily married to Daniel Moder since 2002, while George married Amal in 2014.
