Bratt slams Roberts' 'unbearable ego'

Actor Benjamin Bratt was horrified by the effect fame had on his former lover, superstar Julai Roberts.

The 40-year-old actor dated the Pretty Woman star for four years until June 2001, but left her to marry Bond girl Talisa Soto, because Roberts' celebrity status had made her ego "unbearable".

Bratt says: "With Julia I saw up close what fame really does to a person. It sounds great but it comes with a terrible price. Getting too close to the light is a dangerous thing. But I needed to go through that to appreciate what I have now.

"My wife is the most beautiful actress in the world. But what makes her special is that she's beautiful on the inside too. She doesn't have an unbearable ego."
