Julia Roberts Drops Fierce Series of F-Bombs For Tom Hanks

There seems to be a deep love of celebrity profanity; Julia Roberts’ potty mouth is the latest viral verbosity to hit the tabloids.

In honor of Tom Hanks at a Film Society of Lincoln Center event, Julia Roberts dropped more than a few F-bombs, a shock for most fans who have a sweet image of the big-lipped brunette. Usually, she woos with innocent roles in her flicks, however, she has shown a cruder side or two in movies like My Best Friend’s Wedding or, of course, her pre-classy side in Pretty Woman.

This 3 minute video of Julia Roberts swearing in honor of her Charlie Wilson’s War costar is not to be missed—if you dig celebrity profanity.
