Julia Roberts has a healthy appetite.

The 'August: Osage County' star may have a trim figure, but insists she loves eating, and isn't one for light meals.

She told In Touch Weekly magazine: ''I am a hearty eater, which I told my husband [Danny Moder] 13 years ago when he asked me out. I said, 'Prepare yourself, I won't just have a salad!' But that's worked out for us.''

The 46-year-old actress is notoriously private about her personal life, and says she loves reality TV stars such as the Kardashian family - who have reality show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' which films them during their everyday life - because it directs attention away from her.

She told Life and Style magazine: ''As a film actor, I'm only inviting people to pay attention to my characters. But if you're a reality star, by virtue you are asking me and inviting people to pay attention to you. It's great because they take that attention from me.''
