Julia Roberts has claimed that Pretty Woman could not be made in this day and age as it has 'too many holes you could poke at.' 

The 51-year-old became a Hollywood star after headlining the romantic comedy in which she played the role of Vivian, a prostitute, who falls in love with a wealthy businessman, (Richard Gere), in what was deemed a modern-day Cinderella story. 

Julia told Guardian's G2: 'I don't think you could make that movie now, right? So many things you could poke a hole in, but I don't think it takes away from people being able to enjoy it.'
