Julia Roberts has joked she garnered inspiration for her role as an evil queen from George Clooney.

The stunning actress stars as Queen Clementianna in Mirror Mirror - a big screen remake of the famous Snow White fairytale.

Julia has joked about where she drew references from for her malevolent character.

"George Clooney!" she laughed in an interview with the UK edition of OK! magazine. "It was all on paper!"

Julia is famed for playing Vivian Ward in romantic comedy Pretty Woman. The 44-year-old star has explained whether she prefers to play a "pretty woman or a bitchy woman".

"Well... they're not mutually exclusive!" she exclaimed.

"Whatever comes up that has some good stuff for me to do."

The brunette beauty is married to Daniel Moder. The pair have three children together; twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus "Finn" Walter and Henry Daniel. Julia has revealed what makes a Prince Charming.

"I've got mine, I'm good," she smiled. "What makes him charming? That's for me to know and you not to know!"

Julia can't wait for her children to see her play the part of the evil queen.

"Eventually, I think so. They're a little young for that still, but I think there will be a day where they probably will think it's quite amusing," she added.
