Hollywood star Julia Roberts had an unwelcome interruption during filming in India recently when two donkeys wanted to get in on the action.
The actress is in India filming “Eat, Pray, Love” directed by Ryan Murphy. She was on set in Mirzapur village in Haryana when the donkeys began braying loudly, causing retakes.
Film staff ushered the donkeys off the set, but as soon as that commotion stopped a dog started whining.
Local reports suggest that though some locals and animals were used as extras most villagers had no idea who the Oscar winner was.
