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!"
