Actor Eric Roberts gushes over daughter Emma Roberts: I’m proud of her ‘every day’

Actor Eric Roberts is in awe of his daughter, Emma Roberts.

“The King of the Gypsies” star tells Pvnew that he’s proud of the “American Horror Story” actress “every day.”

He adds that Emma’s 2023 rom-com “Maybe I Do” is “my favorite so far.”

While both Eric and Emma keep their relationship private and out of the spotlight, the proud dad wished Emma a happy 32nd birthday on social media in 2023.

He called the “Scream Queens” star his “precious daughter,” adding that he knew she’d “grow up to be all that and more.”

In another rare comment, the actor told Hollywood Reporter in 2022 that watching her acting career has been “so much fun.”

“And she’s never had any training, so she’s been on-the-job training her whole career, and it’s been lovely for me to watch her become an actor, and she has. I love her work.”

Emma is Eric’s only child from his relationship with ex Kelly Cunningham. Eric — who is also Julia Roberts’ brother — is a stepfather to two children with wife Eliza Roberts.

The Oscar nominee tells Pvnew besides acting, his role as a grandpa is the “best job on the planet.”

He has four grandchildren — including Emma’s son Rhodes, 3, with ex Garrett Hedlund — between his three kids.

“Two of them live across the street,” he explains, “and I become whatever they want me to be … Sometimes it’s a cat, sometimes it’s a dog. Whatever I have to be, I am.”

He adds, “I love being a grandfather.”

At 67, Eric has amassed 600 acting credits on IMDb and says he’s slowing down “a bit,” but has no plans to stop soon with 89 projects in the works, per the website.

He says he gets “30 to 50 offers every day from all over the world” and his wife will ask, “‘Do you want to go pursue this and travel?’ And I say, ‘Sure!'”

“I’m still doing it because it’s fun. And I’ve seen the world for free…and I just have a great life,” he tells us.

And Eric is no snob when it comes to choosing projects.

“Like my my wife will say, ‘There’s a student filmmaker in Scottsdale, Arizona, who needs a name for the bank to loan him the money. Let’s go do it for him,'” he says, “and I’ll go do it for him.

“And it’s a movie nobody will see but his parents, apparently. But we gave him an experience, and he got an education in filmmaking.”

Eric’s latest flick, “The Private Eye,” stars controversial comedian Matt Rife.

He says he took the role because he’s a huge fan of the stand-up comic.

“He’s a funny man. I love his comedy, I love him, I love his stand-up…And, I just love him as a guy. I love him as a talent. I love working with him,” he tells us.
