Eric Roberts: 800 Roles, Complex Family Ties

Eric Roberts, a prolific actor with an astonishing 800 acting credits, recently opened up about his complex personal relationships.

Roberts, who began his career in 1974, described his connection with his daughter, Emma Roberts, as 'complicated' primarily from an outsider's perspective. He expressed pride in her achievements, while also acknowledging past difficulties, including losing custody due to drug use.

In another candid revelation, Roberts extended a public apology to his acclaimed sister, Julia Roberts. He expressed regret for a past comment that implied his own importance to her career. This apology follows years of estrangement, though the siblings eventually reunited in 2004.

Roberts' memoir, 'Runaway Train: Or the Story of My Life So Far,' delves into his tumultuous journey, including his struggles with substance abuse and the impact it had on his family. Despite career highs and personal challenges, he continues to work actively in Hollywood.
