Let's be real for a moment—'Game of Thrones' has taken the world by storm. It's the talk of every dinner table, water cooler, and social media feed. But, guess what? There's at least one person out there who isn't caught up in the dragon drama, and that person is none other than Julia Roberts.
During a candid chat with fellow actress Patricia Arquette for Variety, the Oscar-winning star, now 51, confessed that she's never tuned into a single episode of the epic HBO series. That's right—she hasn't seen a moment of the show that wraps up on Sunday, May 19. Can you believe it?
Why Julia Roberts Isn’t Into the Thrones
Here's the scoop: When a curious Twitter follower asked Julia who she thought would end up sitting on the coveted Iron Throne, she playfully admitted, “I’ve never watched 'Game of Thrones,' but someone just told me a couple of days ago, ‘You look like one of the wildlings.’” Now, if you're familiar with the series, you'll know that the wildlings, or Free Folk, are known for their rugged and untamed appearance. So, what's Julia's take on the comparison?

Well, she joked about her naturally curly hair, saying, “My hair is super curly. This has been professionally done for this occasion, but I was at the beach, and so my hair was telling its own stories.” It sounds like Julia embraces her unique look, even if it doesn't align with her taste in television.
Why Julia Roberts Skips the Thrones
Now, you might be wondering why Julia hasn't jumped on the 'Game of Thrones' bandwagon. The star of 'Pretty Woman' revealed that it’s just “too scary.” She added, “Maybe too much sex.” Patricia Arquette, who was also part of the conversation, chimed in with her own thoughts, saying, “There’s a lot of sex, and there’s zombies and stuff.” Julia quickly responded, “Then it’s for sure not for me.”
While Julia may be in the minority, 'Game of Thrones' has certainly made its mark on pop culture. But now that the series is coming to an end, maybe Julia will consider checking out one of the proposed prequels. After all, fellow actress Naomi Watts has already signed on to star in a pilot titled 'The Long Night.' Creator George R.R. Martin expressed his excitement, saying, “I could not be more excited. Welcome to Westeros, Naomi.” Naomi will play a charismatic socialite hiding a dark secret, set thousands of years before the events of 'Game of Thrones.'
