Co-stars Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri praise her cooking on the red carpet

Julia Roberts Earns Praise for Banana Bread at NY Film Festival

October 2, 2025: At the 63rd New York Film Festival, Julia Roberts got a warm, playful spotlight—not just for her acting but for her baking. During a press interview with her After the Hunt co-stars, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri couldn’t help but gush over her banana bread. Their praise left Roberts visibly blushing and smiling quietly.

What they said

Ayo Edebiri described Roberts’ banana bread as being in the “first percentile” among all banana breads.

Andrew Garfield went a step further, suggesting her banana bread ranks in the top “.5 percentile.”

Both confirmed that Roberts serves it without cream cheese—claiming it doesn’t need it because it’s already that good.

Why it caught attention

The moment gained traction not just because Roberts is an Oscar-winning actress, but because sharing personal, down-to-earth moments in celebrity interviews tends to connect with audiences.

Roberts’ baking skills are already well-known among those close to her. Director Luca Guadagnino has even praised her banana bread in the past, recalling stories of her bringing it along during filming.

This fun exchange served as a charming reminder that beyond the glitz and serious themes of After the Hunt, there’s a bit of home-cooked warmth behind the star persona.
