    Julia Roberts is planning to reset her rider in 2026 after seeing George Clooney's new film Jay Kelly

    In the film, George plays an ageing actor who finds a slice of cheesecake everywhere he goes because it was put in his rider of requests without his knowledge - even though he doesn't actually like the dessert - and Julia has now revealed the film reflects her own real life because she is inundated with almonds at every event she attends.


    She told Deadline.com: "There is either a huge bag or a huge bowl of raw almonds. I have no idea why ... I like them, but not in bulk!

    "I mean, they're everywhere I go. It's so funny."

    Julia went on to reveal she's already emailed her team to ask for almonds to be removed from her rider from now on.

    She added: "I just recently sent an email since watching Jay Kelly, since seeing all these almonds, I sent email and said: 'In the new year, one thing I would really like to do is review any and all riders that pertain to me in this world, because I think it might be time for a little reset on the almonds'."

    George previously revealed he also connected with the cheesecake subplot because he had a similar experience with apples.

    He told USA Today: "I remember I was in New York and the driver, he was p***** at me. I was like: 'What's going on, dude?'

    "He goes: 'Look, George, I looked everywhere for Fuji apples. I can't find them anywhere.' Somebody had asked me at some point, do I want anything in my trailer to eat? And I said maybe some apples.

    "They go: 'Any kind in particular?' I was like: 'I don't know, Fuji?' Because it was the only one I could think of. And all of a sudden it's in your rider.

    "Everywhere you go, people are climbing mountains to find Fuji apples for you. And I had to go: 'Take that out. You are crazy'."

    He went on to add: "A little bit of it happens accidentally with people trying to make everything nice. There's some actors that are literally: 'I only eat green M M's' kind of b*******.

    "I grew up in Kentucky - we try to stay out of trailers. That's not the end all and be all, [me] in a double wide on the set."
