Nick Nolte's Dinner Outing

What Did Julia Roberts Say About Costar Nick Nolte?
In 1993, Julia Roberts called Nolte 'completely disgusting.'
Notle revealed he never talked out the situation with the brunette beauty. However, he insisted to Business Insider of the drama, "it's buried."
"It was absurd what we went through. It was partly my fault and a little bit of hers," he spilled. "Julia got married at the beginning of that film and it was one of those things where I just approached it all wrong."
The Golden Globe winner was referring to when she tied the knot with Lyle Lovett, 67, whom she married in 1993 and divorced two years later.
Years after Roberts' comment, Notle insisted their feud had been 'buried.'
In Roberts' interview, she confessed, "From the moment I met him we sort of gave each other a hard time, and naturally we get on each other’s nerves."
"[While he can be] completely charming and very nice, he’s also completely disgusting," she shockingly continued. "He’s going to hate me for saying this, but he seems go out of his way to repel people. He’s a kick."
In Notle's same interview with Business Insider, he revealed what makes him want to continue taking on acting roles.
"I've always had something artistic outside of myself that I can turn to, so I'm still interested in the stories. I don't really know what they are, as there are fewer and fewer of them these days," her revealed. "And I don't find the 80s particularly fun because you're falling apart in a way. But I've always said that I'll keep on going until I just can't go anymore."
