Julia Roberts’ Banana Bread Gains Celebrity Praise

Julia Roberts is celebrated for her baking skills, particularly her homemade banana bread, which her co-stars Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri have raved about. During a recent screening at the New York Film Festival, the actors shared how impressive her baking truly is.

Both Edebiri and Garfield modestly rated her banana bread as among the best, with Edebiri placing it in the top 1 percentile and Garfield suggesting it’s even higher, at the top half a percent. Garfield added that Roberts’s banana bread doesn’t need a cream cheese topping — it’s so delicious on its own.

Roberts’s culinary talents were highlighted in a recent interview where director Luca Guadagnino praised her as an incredible cook. He mentioned her salmon dishes and specifically her famous banana bread, which he took to the airport after staying at her home. Staff at the lounge marveled at the bread’s beauty and flavor, recognizing Roberts as the baker.

Roberts, known for her acting career, is also recognized for her cooking skills, which she has showcased in her personal life. Her baking prowess is so admired that her co-stars eagerly confirmed her banana bread’s excellence, with one mentioning it’s so good it doesn’t need any toppings.

“After The Hunt,” in which Roberts stars as a Yale philosophy professor entangled in a #MeToo-related scandal, is garnering attention for its timely exploration of social issues. The film portrays Roberts’s character caught in the center of accusations made by a student, played by Edebiri, against another professor, played by Garfield.

The cast has made headlines beyond the film, notably when Edebiri was excluded from a question about the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements during the Venice Film Festival, a moment that quickly went viral online.
