Julia Roberts says social media has "destabilised" the way a new actor would go about planning their career in films. The actor said 30 years ago, one would get a chance to do another film, only if their earlier work was successful, unlike today.

"Things have changed a lot. When I started out, there was no social media, there was barely internet. People couldn't take pictures with their phones. There were logical steps in a career progression: you made a film and if it was successful, you had the opportunity to work again. "If your second film was successful, you could be paid more and get a new role. Now, someone can just pop out of nowhere and make it, which I guess is very destabilising. Building a career was a much more methodical endeavour 30 years ago," Roberts told Britain's Marie Claire magazine. The Oscar winner said today she plans her professional chores in a manner that matches the schedules of her cinematographer husband Daniel Moder and her kids.
