Julia Roberts’ Imposing Security

Roberts hired 350 bodyguards, including police officers and snipers, to protect her and her family in India while the actress films Eat, Pray, Love.

The star, her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, 4, and son Henry, 2, are staying in the town of Pataudi, close to India’s capital, Delhi, where the actress is shooting the film.

According to FemaleFirst, Roberts and her husband, Danny Moder, are so worried about their security that they hired hundreds of guards to look after them. In addition, the family only rides in bulletproof cars and also have a helicopter on patrol 24 hours a day.

All this has outraged local residents, who have not been able to enter the Hindu temple where Roberts is filming. "Nobody can breach the cover. We have strict instructions," one of the agents stated.

Moreover, these restrictions take place for the entire month of September, one of the most sacred months on the Hindu calendar, leaving the locals furious about being banned from their own temple.
