Julia RobertsJulia RobertsIs that a new glow around Julia Roberts?

One of pride, and love, and mumsyness.

Because the Hollywood starlet has gone and gotten all soppy on us.

At an event paying tribute to the actresss, hosted by American Cinematheque, Julia said: "More than anything I am just the most proud wife and mother to three of the most amazing children.

"And the widening of my life, and my hips, is really just the true gift of my husband Danny (Moder), who I would be so lonely without."

Actor Denzel Washington presented Julia with her award, saying: "You do an extraordinary job, extraordinarily well."

Tom Hanks also waxed lyrical about her, saying: "Knowledge that no matter how good of shape you are in, no matter how good of a haircut you are sporting, Julia Roberts is, at the end of the day, going home to a husband way better looking than you will ever be."

He also said: "Everybody loves Julia, everybody, everybody."

An emotional Julia was apparently moved to tears, and, we think we may be too.
