Julia Roberts looked unrecognizable while filming August: Osage County alongside Ewan McGregor in Oklahoma. Dressed in plain clothing with no makeup, she portrayed Barbara Weston, a woman facing family struggles. In an emotional scene, she walked with Ewan’s character to identify a dead body, breaking into tears before sharing laughs between takes with co-star Julianne Nicholson.
The film, also starring Meryl Streep and Benedict Cumberbatch, features Roberts in a modest look, far from her glamorous image. Juliette Lewis replaced Andrea Riseborough due to scheduling conflicts, and Abigail Breslin won her role over Chloë Moretz.
