Julia Roberts was terrified of returning to acting after giving birth to twins Phinneaus and Hazel and decided the best way to get started again was by doing voice-over work.

Julia Roberts was terrified of returning to acting after giving birth to twins Phinneaus and Hazel and decided the best way to get started again was by doing voice-over work.

The Oscar winner took a break from her career after filming Ocean's Twelve to give birth to the twins and become a full-time mother.

She explains: "Well, I did give birth to two children, so I didn't feel that to birth them and then abandon them was a wise mothering tactic!"

The Erin Brockovich star was offered the role of Hova, a nurse who acts as a mentor to a young boy in the animated film The Ant Bully, and decided it was the perfect way to ease back into work.

She adds: "I was out of work and out of shape. I had just given birth and decided a little dark room with a microphone was a good place for me to be!"
