The new film Wonder by director and author Stephen Chbosky, details the story of 10-year-old Auggie, played by Jacob Tremblay, who was born with facial deformities. Julia Roberts, who plays Auggie's mother, said that playing Owen Wilson's wife was made easy by their on-screen chemistry.

Roberts said in a statement, "The rapport between our characters was instinctive, as they improvised their husband-and-wife bond. Owen really kind of reinvented Nate for me and oh my, I thought he was so fantastic. We have very similar senses of humour so we kind of led each other in this little comic dance."

She also spoke on the unique relationship between her and her on-screen son. "I only ever briefly met Tremblay – because most of the time when we were working he was purely Auggie to me. I remember when production finished and I was saying goodbye to Jacob's mom she said, 'I feel like you're Auggie's mom and I'm Jacob's mom', which is kind of how it felt to me."
