Actor Eric Roberts is opening up about why he rarely publicly speaks about his Oscar-winning sister, Julia Roberts , and his actor daughter, Emma Roberts.

During Mondays episode of the Still Here Hollywood podcast , the Dark Knight star, 68, spoke about some family matters after host Steve Kmetko asked about how the Pretty Woman actor has been doing.

Youll have to ask her, Roberts replied. I love my sister, but I cant talk about her. She [doesnt] wanna talk about it.

The actor explained why hes generally hush-hush about his relationship with his younger sibling, who is known for her countless acclaimed roles in films such as Erin Brockovich and My Best Friends Wedding.

According to Eric Roberts, his daughter Emma, 33, shares the same feelings.

My daughter told me also not to talk about her, but I stumble and do, he said of the American Horror Story actor. Im not supposed to talk about them. But I do.

Elsewhere in the interview, Roberts, who has appeared in hundreds of films, including The Expendables and Star 80, apparently couldnt resist squeezing in a few words about Emma nonetheless.

I am in love with my daughters work these days, he gushed. Like, I cant believe how great shes become.

Im so proud of her I cant see straight. Since her performance in Maybe I Do until right now, she overwhelms me with pride and just, Oh, my God, here she goes again, he added. And Im just so happy to be her dad because shes kicking ass. And Im so proud.

Emma began her acting career in the early 2000s and has risen to fame after starring in multiple projects, including Nancy Drew, Scream 4 and Madame Web.

Roberts then admitted that he has contributed absolutely nothing to his daughters Hollywood career.

Except I gave her that name, he added.

Emma Roberts recently addressed the internets heated debate surrounding nepo babies , or children whose success is perceived as the advantage of nepotism.

The term went viral on social media after a New York magazine cover story in 2022 highlighted children of celebrities who benefited from family connections.

Though Emma wasnt mentioned in the article, she spoke up about the dark side of having a famous dad and aunt in an interview with Flaunt magazine earlier this month.

Ive lost more jobs than Ive gained from being in the business, Emma Roberts explained People have opinions and sometimes maybe theyre not good opinions of people in your family. Ive never gotten a job because of it, I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it.
