‘This Is The Most Difficult Thing I’ve Ever Had To Do’: Christopher Meloni Gets Real About Why It Was Challenging To Work On Julia Roberts’ Runaway Bride

Right as Christopher Meloni was starting his work on Law and Order: SVU as Detective Elliot Stabler, the actor had another big acting gig in front of him. Meloni was cast as Julia Roberts’ fiancé in 1999’s Runaway Bride. This movie was a huge deal for many reasons. Not only was Roberts the queen of rom-coms in the ’90s, but this would also be the return to her collaboration with Richard Gere. A lot of eyes were on the project, and Meloni recently opened up about how difficult he found working on the film to be.

In an interview with People, the Law and Order: SVU star was asked about his role in Runaway Bride, as the film celebrates its 25th anniversary. It was a major opportunity for Meloni, but it seems like, at the time, the actor was more intimidated than excited, especially when it came to working with the all-star ensemble cast. He said:

I just remember fighting not to be overwhelmed, so happy to be given this opportunity, how great it was to work with [Roberts] and with Richard Gere. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, this is the most difficult thing I’ve ever had to do,’ because it was a big Hollywood comedy.
