Julia Roberts bakes a mean banana bread, according to her “After The Hunt” co-stars Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri.
Page Six caught up with the trio at a screening of their new film at the 63rd annual New York Film Festival at Lincoln Center on Friday night, where we inquired about Roberts’ baking skills.
“I would say, I don’t know, [it’s in] the first percentile,” Edebiri, 29, exclaimed, while Garfield, 42, agreed, adding that he believed it was more the top “.5 percentile.”
Roberts beamed silently as she listened to her co-stars.
Page Six also confirmed that Roberts does not add a cream cheese topping to her banana bread — they insisted it’s so good it doesn’t need it.
The “Notting Hill” star’s culinary prowess was raised in a recent Variety interview when the movie’s director, Luca Guadagnino, shared that Roberts is “an incredible cook. She does an amazing salmon, but she also does an incredible banana bread.”
The “Queer” director added that when he stayed at Roberts’ home last year, he took one of her banana breads to the airport, where staff at the lounge raved, calling it “very beautiful.” They also were “starstruck” when they found out who had baked it.
Meanwhile, “After The Hunt” is garnering a ton of press for its timely storyline, which delves into the #MeToo movement.
The Oscar winner, 57, plays a philosophy professor at Yale, who finds herself in the middle of a scandal when her favorite student (Edebiri) accuses another professor (Garfield) of sexual assault.
The trio recently made headlines after Edebiri was excluded from a question about the #MeToo and Black Lives Matter movements at the Venice Film Festival.
The awkward exchange went viral.
