She may work in front of camera lenses for a living, but Julia Roberts has admitted that she hates being photographed.

"I feel so stupid when I'm being photographed," she told Page Six. "And I feel only slightly less stupid when I'm being filmed in the movies!"

Roberts has also revealed that playing a photographer in her latest film, Closer has been an interesting experience for her, as she now thinks that holding a camera, "instantly makes you the coolest person in the room".

Julia gave birth to twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, last month.
