In an April 2019 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Emma Roberts explained why she looks like her famous paternal aunt, Julia Roberts. Emma’s father, Eric Roberts, is Julia’s older brother.
“We have a lot of teeth,” Emma joked about being a doppelganger for the Pretty Woman star.

While Emma Roberts is a regular on American Horror Story (sometimes abbreviated as AHS), an American anthology horror television series created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, her aunt Julia has made it quite clear that she does not want to appear in the series.
“I’ll tell you why—because I can’t even get through the commercials,” Roberts explained in an interview with E! News.
“I am the most fitful scaredy-cat. When the first American Horror Story came out, remember the first poster? I said to [show co-creator Ryan Murphy], ‘OK, I curse you. I stop at a traffic light and I have to look at that thing on billboards. It gives me the willies. What is that? What is going on? What have you done?'”

“I don’t blame her,” the Scream Queens star told Marc Malkin of E! News, adding, “I was watching American Horror Story: Hotel on my computer and I realized that I was staying in a hotel and I literally turned it off so fast and turned all the lights on and went to sleep with all the lights on. I was like, ‘I don’t even care that I know these people—I’m terrified.'”
Emma is close to her aunt and they spent a lot of time together while she was growing up. Julia even let Emma join her on the set of Erin Brockovich!

In September 2015, Emma Roberts looked summery chic as she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.
The actress was flying in from New Orleans, where her series “Scream Queens” was filmed. The horror-comedy television show premiered on Fox on September 22, 2015.

A few hours after arriving in the city, Emma was photographed holding hands with her ex-fiancé, Evan Peters.
The two called off their engagement three months earlier but rumors were flying that the two had rekindled their romance.

The then 24-year-old actress was hard to ignore as she sashayed through the terminal in a printed yellow dress.
She added a hint of edge to the feminine frock by wearing a black leather motorcycle jacket and a pair of black studded boots.
The American actress and singer, who made her film debut as Kristina Jung in the crime film Blow, wore her blonde locks down in loose waves and hid her eyes behind a pair of large-framed sunglasses.
