Who Inspires Julia Roberts on Instagram?
When asked about her favorite Instagram personalities, Julia didn’t hold back. "Molly Yeh is a chef who I really admire," she said with enthusiasm. "I follow her and I absolutely adore Josh Brolin. He’s got a real knack for Instagram—brilliant, really. Sarah Jessica Parker? She’s fantastic. There’s just so much fun to be had on there." Julia’s admiration for these influencers shows her genuine interest in the platform, even if she’s still figuring out her own style.

Julia's Instagram Journey: Late Bloomer or Stealth Observer?
Julia officially joined Instagram in late June 2018, sharing a sweet photo of herself basking in the sun by a tree. Her caption was simple yet charming: “Hello.” But as it turns out, Julia wasn’t exactly a newcomer to the platform. During an interview with Busy Philipps on Busy Tonight in early November 2018, she confessed, “Just because I wasn’t a joiner doesn’t mean I wasn’t a watcher! I’ve been an observer for a while now.” Julia clearly appreciates the creativity and connection Instagram fosters, calling it “super cool.”
Why Julia Keeps Comments Off
Despite her growing presence on Instagram, Julia has made a conscious decision to keep comments disabled on her account. During her appearance on Busy Tonight, Busy praised Julia’s social media skills, to which Julia responded, “I like Instagram, but engaging with comments isn’t something I feel comfortable doing. It’s just another thing I’d likely mess up, so I’ve chosen to skip it altogether.” This move reflects Julia’s commitment to maintaining her privacy while still sharing glimpses of her life with fans.
Since joining Instagram, Julia has shared close to 100 photos with her followers, proving that she’s fully embraced the platform—though she insists she’s not addicted. “Wish we could say the same, girl!” fans might jokingly respond. Her presence continues to delight and inspire, showing that even Hollywood legends can find joy in the digital age.
