Julia Roberts is known for her charm both on- and off-screen. But even Hollywood’s sweetheart has had her share of co-stars she couldn’t stand—most infamously, Nick Nolte. The Julia Roberts-Nick Nolte feud is one of the most notorious in 1990s film history, and it all started on the set of I Love Trouble.
Julia Roberts discussed their rocky relationship in a 1993 interview with The New York Times.
Julia Roberts: “We Got on Each Other’s Nerves”
“From the moment I met him, we gave each other a hard time—and naturally, we got on each other’s nerves,”
Describing Nolte as “completely disgusting,” she added, “[Even though he can be] utterly charming and very nice, he’s also completely disgusting. He seems to go out of his way to repel people.”
Nolte didn’t hold her in high esteem either. However, they’ve seemingly moved past the feud. “What happened was just nonsense. Part of it was my fault, and part of it was hers,” Nolte admitted in a 2022 Business Insider interview. “Julia got married right as we started filming, and it was just a situation I didn’t handle well.”
I Love Trouble: What’s the Movie About?
Released in 1994, I Love Trouble is a romantic comedy starring Julia Roberts as Sabrina Peterson, an ambitious journalist, and Nick Nolte as Peter Brackett, a seasoned reporter for the Chicago Chronicle. Their paths cross while covering a mysterious train derailment. Despite clashing personalities and fierce rivalry, they are forced to team up to uncover a conspiracy involving a chemical company.
With a $45 million budget, the film grossed just $6 million worldwide but still won over some viewers. “A delicious comedy, thanks to a wacky duo with contagious chemistry—you’ll want to watch it again and again,” reads one Allociné review. Another adds: “Excellent film! The lead duo is perfect. Comedy with action, humor, twists! Super entertaining!”
While I Love Trouble might not have stood the test of time, the Julia Roberts-Nick Nolte feud has. It remains one of the most talked-about examples of co-star friction in modern Hollywood.
