The 'Pretty Woman' actress has so much "chemistry" with the British actor she came out of retirement to star alongside him in upcoming spy film 'Duplicity'.
She said: "I love Clive and we have chemistry because we have a similar spirit and energy. We had to be all serious and sexy but after the director said 'Cut' we would just be laughing."
Although the 41-year-old actress enjoyed being back on set, she prefers to be at home with her husband Danny Moder and their three children, four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinn and 18-month-old Henry.
She even snubbed the Oscars because she wanted to be with Danny.
She said: "My husband had been away and just returned home so I felt it best to stay home and be with my family. That was my priority so we watched the show on television.
"Of course life has changed and I work less, but I was never one to work too much. I never did years of movie-after-movie-after-movie but when you've got three toddlers in the house you're performing all day long, anyway, with puppet shows and stories - I act around the clock."
But even though Julia loves being a mother, she admits it's not always easy.
She added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "My life at home gives me absolute joy. But there are some days when as soon as you've finished cooking breakfast and cleaning the kitchen it's time to start lunch and by the time you've done that you're doing dinner and thinking there has to be a menu we can order from.
"But some days are so much fun and my kids will help me and it's just a part of your day. Some days it's super-fun and some days it's a chore."
