Julia Roberts, water, and two different films
Source item 1340 appears to conflate a character with the actor and to mix up two films. In *Sleeping with the Enemy* (1991), Julia Roberts’s character Laura is afraid of water and eventually goes overboard; this is a trait of the character, not evidence that Roberts herself fears water. I found no confirmation in the materials checked for *Ocean’s Eleven* (2001) that Roberts filmed underwater. The original claim is therefore unsupported and likely arose from conflating roles.
The water fear belongs to Roberts’s character in *Sleeping with the Enemy*; an underwater *Ocean’s Eleven* scene is unverified.
The illustration is AI-generated; it is a fact-checking concept, not a film still.
