Julia Roberts talks advising George Clooney on marital life: 'I'll get right on that'

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Julia Roberts opened up about her good friend George Clooney's recent nuptials while attending Friday's 2014 Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN ) Awards in LA.

Roberts, an honoree during last week's event, was notoriously missing form Clooney's star-packed ceremony to British barrister Amal Alamuddin on Sept. 27, but she told Access Hollywood that she's spoken to the actor since it happened.

"We've spoken many times since he's gone from a bridegroom to a husband," Roberts said.

Asked whether she had any advise for her newlywed pal -- Roberts has been married to cameraman Daniel Moder since for 12 years -- the Oscar-winning actress joked, "Oh yes. I'll be advising George Clooney on his marital life. I'll get right on that!"

Pressed for a real answer, Roberts said "the only advice for" having a happy family "is finding your person – and he's found his person."

The actress and Moder received GLSEN's Humanitarian Award Friday for their "commitment to, and support of, numerous philanthropic endeavors and humanitarian causes, including GLSEN, UNICEF, Heal the Bay, Stand Up To Cancer, the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, and many others."

Roberts, who attended the ceremony alone, called Moder her "greatest inspiration" and credited him with being the one who "turns on [her] personal volume" when it comes to humanitarian ventures.
