Julia Roberts can literally pinpoint the moment she realized that she was a famous star, and it all came to her in the most surprising of places: a bathroom stall. During Monday’s episode of 'The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter' podcast, the 'Homecoming' actress revealed that she first became aware of the change in a bathroom stall in Georgia.

“I went home to Georgia to visit my mom and my younger sister, and we went to the movies,” Roberts explains, while also adding how she used to work across the street at an ice cream store. “It was after the movie was over and I was in the bathroom and there was a woman in the bathroom who said, ‘Hey, girl in stall number one, were you in 'Mystic Pizza'?’”
