Not only does he make her feel comfortable, but he also helps her overcome her own personal fears and challenges. One example of that is Roberts’s fear of heights. In 2018, she posed in evening gowns for a Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot.
Oh, and she did it while hanging by a rope from the side of a rock. When Oprah met her for a later interview, the actress confessed that Moder was the one who talked her into it and talked her through it. So not only is he the perfect human being for her, but he also manages to help her overcome big challenges that she may face. That’s what we call being someone’s rock.
Shining a Light
Roberts's interview for O Magazine quickly turned into a hymn praising her husband for all the glory and love that he brings to Roberts and their family. "My husband Danny has really shined the light for me," she said. She spoke greatly of him and wasn't shy to confess that she adores him.
"Because of being married, I’ve met people and experienced all these little things that have nurtured my life. Not so much changed it, just nurtured it in a way that’s astounding." It sounds like Roberts and Moder really have the best thing going in Hollywood. How touching!
Her Most Comfortable Self
When she discovered the impact Roberts's marriage has had on her life, Oprah was just as relentless as Paltrow. To us, money and a great, successful career seem enough to make one happy, however, Roberts never paid attention to all of these. Maybe because they came fairly easily to her.
Just like her non-Hollywoodian fans, she wanted to know what Moder has added to the life of someone who seemingly had everything. Roberts emphatically responded that with him, she doesn't need to alter herself or pretend to be someone she’s not. She can just be as comfortable as she pleases. There was no need for acting.
Real Life Happy Ending
And now, for the question you've all been waiting for — how does a marriage work between a rich and famous Hollywood star and a not-so-famous person? Well, it does. Roberts and Moder are living proof. Perhaps this is one of the secret ingredients for a successful marriage to thrive in Hollywood. Maybe it’s best that not both parties are ultra-famous.
Just like in "Notting Hill" — the answer is yes. For those of you who don't know, in "Notting Hill," Roberts plays the part of a famous actress who falls in love with a simple bookseller. So, for once, a silver-screen happy ending has successfully made its way into real life.
Just a Simple Person
When Oprah asked about the fame difference issue, Roberts was ready with an answer, like she was ready to brace all the other deep questions regarding her personal marriage life. She said she is a pretty simple person, but her job makes other people think that she is somehow more interesting than others when in actual fact, she’s just a normal person like all of us.
Basically, she said that she is pretty much the same person she was before Hollywood and that they are just two people with different jobs who got married. This kind of down-to-earth demeanor is one of the things that make her so popular.
