The newspaper has been forced to apologise after the glaring error.

Oh dear...

An American newspaper has been forced to apologise after it published an interview with Hollywood star Julia Roberts.

Which was completely overshadowed by one little typo. But sometimes the smallest errors can have the biggest effect.

Which is exactly what the Post-Journal of Jamestown, New York, found out when it ran a weekend feature on Roberts, 51, looking at her current career renaissance more than 30 years after her first film role.

Their headline? “Julia Roberts Finds Life And Her Holes Get Better With Age.”

Ah lads.

A day later they printed a retraction — in much smaller font than that attention-grabbing headline.

But it was too late.

The rouge ‘H’ had already given Jamestown’s Post-Journal perhaps its biggest international readership ever. 

And praise for Roberts’ “Holes” had already swept the relentless social media.

“With age comes more complexity of possible parts,” Roberts had told the Associated Press in the new wire interview that the Post-Journal had published.

“You know, I’m happy and I have fun at home, so it would take a lot for someone to say: ‘Look, you can play this part where you’re happy and have fun.’ Well, I just do that at home!”
