Julia Roberts

Wasn't there a shot of Julia Roberts in bed with Clive Owen in Duplicity?

The news articles around it flogged the age thing, but the movie itself made her look like a goddess. Now, this could just be because Roberts IS a goddess, or at least has sold her soul to the Devil for eternal good looks, but it is heartening.
