Julia Roberts Ponders Over "Pretty Woman" Sequel, Predicts Bittersweet Ending for Couple
In a candid interview with "CBS Mornings," Hollywood icon Julia Roberts (56) shared her thoughts on the fates of her iconic characters from popular films like "Pretty Woman" and "My Best Friend's Wedding." Inciting excitement among fans, she hinted at a potential sequel to the 1990s rom-com, however, with a less than optimistic twist for the beloved "Pretty Woman" couple.
TheMillionaire's Bitter Departure and Vivian's Triumph
During the interview, Roberts shared her imagining of Edward Lewis (played by Richard Gere, 74) and Vivian Ward's possible future. While fans might still be holding onto hopes of a romantic reunion, according to Roberts, Edward would pass away peacefully in his sleep, leaving Vivian to carry on his legacy by running his business.
Vivian's Unwavering Resilience Launches a Successful Career
Fans will remember the original film's fairytale transformation of Vivian from a down-on-her-luck streetwalker to a successful businesswoman. In Roberts' revised vision of their future, that transformation proves to be enduring. Despite the tragedy of Edward's passing, Vivian continues to excel in the corporate world.
Other Playful Metamorphoses from Hollywood's Sweetheart
Besides sharing her ideas for the "Pretty Woman" couple, Roberts provided witty speculations for the afterlives of Daisy and Beau Charles from "Pizza, Pizza - A Slice of Heaven" (1988), and Julianne and Michael in "My Best Friend's Wedding" (1997). While some of her predictions remain hopeful, others offer a more tongue-in-cheek depiction of how these iconic couples may have fared.
