Emma Roberts is 20-Years-Old Today

Emma Roberts, who turns 20-years-old today, is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of Julia and Lisa Roberts who are both actresses.

When Emma was a child, she would accompany her acting family to the film sets where she would spend several hours watching the professionals at work. It didn't come as a surprise to anyone that she would soon be bitten by the acting bug. By the time she was nine, she made up the cast of the movie Blow where she played Kristina Jung with Johnny Depp as her father, a cocaine smuggler.

Emma is also well-known for her role of the klutzy yet lovable eight grade singer/ songwriter Addie Singer on Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous.
Emma’s film credits include roles in Wild Child, Hotel for Dogs and Valentine’s Day the latter which also starred her aunt Julia. She was also seen in Nancy Drew as the main character and her fans can expect to see her in Scream 4 which is set for a release date of April 15th.

As a singer/ songwriter, Emma can be heard on “Unfabulous and More” which became the official soundtrack for her Unfabulous TV show. Her beautiful voice is also on the soundtrack of Ice Princess and Aquamarine, movies that she also acted in.

Emma Roberts Is The Only Human Being Who Hasn't Read 'The Hunger Games'

Emma Roberts may not have made the shortlist of actresses included in our recent "Who should play Katniss?" poll, but that doesn't mean the 19-year-old "Scream 4" star doesn't have a loyal fanbase hoping to see her wield a bow and arrow in the upcoming film adaptation of "The Hunger Games." So when we spoke with Emma at the Sundance Film Festival, where she was promoting her high school romance "Homework," we had to ask if she was a fan of the dystopian series.

"I'm the only human being on the face of the planet who hasn't read 'The Hunger Games,'" she said. "I own them; I just haven't read them. I hear it's really awesome. I mean, all of my friends are like, 'Go home and read it now.' So I have to read it."

We know of at least one other starlet who has yet to take a trip to Panem, but that's really no excuse, Emma. Cave to the peer pressure! You won't regret it.
Though she hasn't come down with a case of "Hunger Games" fever, Emma is familiar with the film project. When asked by our own Josh Horowitz if she's been approached about the role, Emma responded, "I've heard about it. But yeah, no details. We'll see."
