However, as the title suggests, he won’t be leaving out his demons either, as, according to PEOPLE, his addictions affected his career significantly and it’s one of the main themes of the book.
While he grew up away from his sister Julia Roberts, a successful actress in her own right, and his mother, Betty, he’s grown to develop a relationship with Julia over the years – albeit a complicated one.
He’ll also be giving us a glimpse into his home life with casting director, Eliza Roberts. Roberts penned “Runaway Train” with New York Times bestselling author, former Vanity Fair editor and current Air Mail writer-at-large Sam Kashner.
Publishers promise that the memoir will give readers that thrill of having a firsthand account of what New York was like during one of its golden eras.
