She has been one of the world's most desirable women for the last 20 years.
But the mere sight Julia Roberts in a magazine is enough to send one dog running for its life.
A hilarious video has emerged on YouTube showing four-legged Optimus looking decidedly scared every time the dog's owner holds up a picture of the Oscar-winning actress.
It has caused a stir on the site, attracting more than 400,000 views.

Beautiful: Most people wouldn't mind being shown a picture of Julia Roberts Get ready: The dog's ears prick up when its is shown the advert of Roberts
Fearful: The dog takes an initial glance at the Hollywood movie star
Hiding: The dog then scuttles off to a safe distance and refuses to come closer while the picture of Julia Roberts is being shown
First the man shows a full-page advert using her face to the camera, before closing it.
Then he calls Optimus over and opens the magazine in front of the dog's eyes.
The dog instantly backs away, keeping its sights locked on Roberts, then edges towards the door, seemingly petrified.
Optimus's owner calls the dog back a second time and repeats the trick.
This time the dog's ears prick up and it runs off instantly, scrambling for the haven of the next room.
Maybe Optimus has heard Roberts is scheduled to play the Wicked Witch in next year's Snow White movie.
What a hero! David Walliams today saved a dog from drowning as he continued his Thames swim for Sport Relief
Comedian David Walliams yesterday saved a dog from drowning despite suffering from ‘Thames Tummy’ during his marathon charity swim along the river.
The Little Britain star swam to save the one-year-old labrador after hearing him splash into the water. The animal, called Vinny, was struggling to get out because it has a bad hip.
Walliams grabbed the dog by the scruff of the neck and pushed it on to the river bank near Cookham Lock in Berkshire.
Bravery: Walliams pushed the Labrador to safety after the canine jumped in to greet the comedian
Walliams said: ‘I heard a splash and looked over to be met with the face of a sweet labrador.
‘I thought he was fine, but he started to really struggle when he was getting out so I swam over and helped his owner get him out.’
Vinny’s owner Steve Outten, 23, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, said: ‘Vinny has hip dysplasia and was really struggling to get out just as David was swimming past.
‘He stopped, swam over and helped me get him out, which when you think what he’s going through with the swim is totally amazing. What a man.’
Hero's welcome: Walliams is applauded and cheered as he arrives at Bray Lock this afternoon
Support: Walliams said he has been amazed by the amount of support he has received from members of the public
Talking about his brave rescue, Walliams said: 'We had a little incident with a dog on the way to Maidenhead - I heard a splash and looked over to be met with the face of a sweet Labrador. I thought he was fine, but he started to really struggle when he was getting out so I swam over and helped his owner get him out.'
Walliams' rescue mission came as he was supported by his supermodel wife Lara Stone, who followed him on a boat as he swam.
Lara even fed Walliams a cookie as he stopped for a quick snack break on his way to Bray Lock in Maidenhead.
Taking to her Twitter page this morning, Lara wrote: 'He really is flying!! SO PROUD!!!!! #thamesswim @sportrelief.'
Support: David Walliams' wife Lara Stone came to support him on his Thames swim today
She later added: 'Another amazing reception! So many people, too sweet, brings tears to my eyes.'
Lara wasn't the only famous face supporting Walliams today, as comedian Miranda Hart also popped along.
After making him some porridge for breakfast, Miranda was ready and waiting with a dressing gown for Walliams as he pulled himself out of the water for a quick pitstop.
Walliams added: 'It's been a great day today. My wife Lara has been in the boat cheering me on which was such a big boost to me. Miranda Hart came along and made me porridge too which was a lovely thought, but slightly less lovely in practice.'
Slowly but surely: Walliams, seen here yesterday, is in much better spirits today
Grinning from ear to ear: Walliams smiled for the camera as he prepared to get into the water this morning
He added: 'My tummy has settled a bit and I had fish and chips and some pizza last night so feel better.
'We have broken through the 100 mile barrier now which is great, but once I reach Teddington Lock the Thames becomes tidal and there's a whole new set of challenges.
'The currents and undertows are very dangerous so I'll need to be strong.'
Eat up! Lara feeds Walliams a cookie to keep him energised for the swim
Famous faces: Lara was joined on the boat by comedian Miranda Hart
Walliams was also encouraged on the charity swim yesterday by his close friend, fellow comedian Jimmy Carr, who was there to congratulate him as he reached the halfway point of the challenge in Henley-on-Thames.
Earlier this week, the former Little Britain star was struggling to continue with the challenge after contracting 'Thames Tummy' from the murky Thames water.
But speaking about his progress yesterday, Walliams said: 'It's fantastic to be half way - although if I think for too long about the fact that I've got to do as many miles again, I feel even sicker than normal.
'I'm learning to live with the stomach bug and had a more settled night. I even tucked into fish and chips, so I’m taking food on board again.'
Spurring him on: David stopped to shake Michael Parkinson's hand

Celebrity friends: Giggy socialises with Audrina Patridge as his owner Lisa Vanderpump at Villa Blanca Restaurant in Beverly Hills
He was an ever-present force in the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, accompanying his mistress on private jets, the red carpet and to the most exclusive of soirées.
And although he didn't have a speaking role, Giggy has become the newest reality star from the show, signing on with a Hollywood agent.
Of course, as a Pomeranian, the fluffy little dog is perhaps unaware of his newfound status as one of the glitterati.
But he seemed quite happy as he was hugged to the chest of fellow reality star Audrina Patridge today.
With friends like these: Giggy has signed to CAA, who also represent Jennifer Aniston
The pair met up in Beverly Hills, of course, and seemed delighted to see one another.
Dressed in a fetching pink doggy shirt, Giggy jumped into Audrina's arm.
She in turn added that celebrity touch to her casual jeans and sweater with a Chanel bag.
Joining the pair was Giggy's mistress Lisa Vanderpump, who laughed as her best friend socialised.
'It's true,' she told UsMagazine.com of Giggy's new business deal. 'He's with CAA.'
Creative Artists' Agency represents other A-listers including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts.
Vanderpump told the magazine: 'He can do charity; he is open to anything. The only thing he isn't very good at is radio.'

The film, directed by Marc Webb also stars Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen and Sally Field, and is set to be released in July 2012.

Part of the family: Peaches, Philip Schofield's family's cat, passed away this afternoon
He's a prolific Tweeter and keeps his followers up to date on all the fun things that happen to him during his day-to-day life.
But today, Phillip Schofield's messages brought sad news to his followers after he announced that his beloved cat had died.
The This Morning presenter took to his Twitter page this afternoon to sadly announce that 18-year-old Peaches had passed away today.
Peaches, his family's pet, had been nearing the end last night when Schofield took to his page.
He wrote: 'Glass of red (well a bottle) Top of The Pops 2 and nursing our very old pussy cat who I fear is not long for this world :(.'
And this afternoon, after Peaches had passed away, he sadly had to announce: 'Bye bye old girl'.
Later, he added: 'Thank you so much for your lovely messages, we all really appreciate them. She was 18 and 1 month, so had a really good innings.'
Heartbreaking announcement: Schofield announced Peaches's passing on his Twitter page
Schofield lives near Henley-on-Thames in South Oxfordshire with his wife Stephanie and their two daughters Ruby and Molly.
The family decided to bury their beloved feline in their back garden, placing a stone slab over the grave with a makeshift wooden headstone that simply read, 'Peaches'.
And two red roses had been poignantly placed on top of the grave, which was surrounded by patches of snow.
Final resting place: Schofield tweeted a picture of Peaches grave where he is buried in his garden
After he posted the photo of Peaches's grave, Schofield was inundated by responses from his fans and followers, offering their sympathies.
One wrote: 'Oh Scofe, u have made me cry! lots of hugs 2 u+family.'
And another added: 'so sorry to hear your sad news she looks lovely. I bet she had such a lovely life with your family '
In mourning: Schofield, seen here outside the This Morning studios last month, has been sent messages of sympathy from his fans
