Julia Roberts has confessed that she was "terrified" about returning to the red carpet in London after a ten year absence.

The actress's appearance at last night's premiere of Duplicity in Leicester Square marked her first red carpet outing in the UK since 1999's Notting Hill.

"It was terrifying but good to do it again. I put on three different outfits before I decided what to wear tonight," she told the Daily Mail, adding that she had eventually opted for a black Dolce & Gabbana suit.

"I don't particularly have the bug to work. I just have the bug to do good movies and they don't come along very often."

Speaking to The Sun, co-star Clive Owen admitted that Roberts had needed some convincing before agreeing to appear, saying: "I had to take her out for lunch and tell her the script was dynamite and she had to do it."

Duplicity opens in the UK on March 20.
