Julia Roberts seen watching sunrise in pyjamas at Vaucluse

Julia Roberts was spotted watching the sunrise from a Vaucluse mansion days before she enters Queensland with George Clooney.

Hollywood star Julia Roberts has settled back into life in Sydney by waking up early to enjoy the view from her luxury harbourside holiday home with her pyjamas on and a hot drink in hand.

Roberts, 53, arrived in town on Saturday evening after fellow A-lister George Clooney arrived on Friday, as the pair get ready to star opposite each other in the romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise – set to be filmed in Queensland from next month.

While Clooney, his wife Amal and their young family are quarantining at a luxury farmstead in the Southern Highlands, Roberts will be calling a waterfront mansion in Vaucluse home for the next week.

The Academy Award winner and her entourage appeared understandably weary as they sat on the back steps of the mansion on Sunday morning, taking in the view as the sun rose.

Roberts sat chatting beside her entourage, at one point putting a hand on the leg of a male staffer as she showed him something on her mobile phone.

When asked how they were doing after their long flight, a staffer at the home told The Daily Telegraph: “We’re doing well.”

Locals on the exclusive street said they had no idea Roberts was staying in the area, but admitted they are now used to having A-listers living in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

“We’ve had Natalie Portman floating around and I see Sacha Baron Cohen down at Neilsen’s (kiosk) every morning and I don’t think people pester them too much, so if I was one of those people it’d be a good part of the world to escape to,” one local man said.

“If I see her (Roberts) that might be exciting, but we probably won’t get to if she’s only doing quarantine.”

The state government’s decision to scrap hotel quarantine from November 1 for fully-vaccinated travellers is an added bonus for Roberts and the Clooneys, who will be free to leave after less than 14 days in isolation.
