Irrfan finds fan in Julia

MUMBAI: Indian actor has a huge fan in Hollywood star Julia Roberts.

“On the day after the Oscars ceremony we were doing a photo-feature for a magazine when I was told Julia Roberts was close by, and would I like to meet her? I said she didn’t know me. But I was told she did know my work. I ran to meet her. It turned out, Julia had seen The Namesake very recently. She was doing a photo-session when we met up. She was sooooo sooooo genuinely pleased to meet me. She told me it was an honour to meet me. ‘What a beautiful film you’ve given us,’ she said. I swooned,” said Irrfan.

Irrfan was bowled over by Roberts’ gracious compliments. “Such a big star and so little vanity. She not only had wonderful things to say about my film, she also lavished praise on India.”

Irrfan had to pinch and slap himself after the memorable meeting. “She’s the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met. She looked so lovely in her

jeans and a short jacket. She was as cheerful and warm and full of compassion as she appears on screen. But I could’ve killed myself for not carrying DVDs of my other films, so I could give them to Julia.” MUMBAI: Indian actor has a huge fan in Hollywood star Julia Roberts.
