When it comes to her career in Hollywood, Emma Roberts claims to have lost jobs due to something completely out of her control. 

In a new interview with Flaunt, the "Scream Queens" actress, whose father is actor Eric Roberts and aunt is Academy Award-winning actress Julia Roberts, opened up about the pros and cons to having famous family members and explained how her acting career has been affected. 

"I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the business," said Roberts. "People have opinions, and sometimes maybe they’re not good opinions of people in your family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it."

One of her "biggest heartbreaks" came when she was only nine years old when she lost out on the role of Wendy in the 2003 film, "Peter Pan."

"I came very close. I had a British accent," she recently told Variety. "I was very impressed with myself, but I didn’t get the part."

"The one that got away in the beginning was ‘I Am Sam,’ which the amazing Dakota Fanning obviously got," she added. "I came close, but the feedback was, ‘You’re a little on the older side,’ and I was nine. To be told you’re on the older side at nine, I was like, ‘There’s my thick skin. It grew right there.’"

Last month, Roberts questioned whether men have it easier than women when it comes to the controversial Hollywood discussion surrounding "nepo babies."

"People definitely have preconceived notions of you," Roberts, 33, told Bruce Bozzi on his podcast "Table for Two" of being born into a famous family. 

"I think there's two sides of the coin, you know. People like to say, 'You have a leg up, because you have family in the industry,' but then the other side to that is, you know, you have to prove yourself more," she explained. "Also, if people don't have [a] good experience maybe with other people in your family, then you'll never get the chance."

"I think there's something to be said where everybody loves the kind of overnight success story," she continued. "And so, if you're kind of not the girl from the middle of nowhere that broke into Hollywood, you know there's kind of an eye roll of like, ‘Well, your dad was this.’ I always joke, I'm like, ‘Why is no one calling out George Clooney for being a nepo baby? [His aunt] Rosemary Clooney was an icon,'" she said of the late singer and actress.

Though Roberts has previously stated she's never aspired to be her aunt, she admitted she'd "love to find the perfect project" for them to work on together. 

"I know that there will be something. But it’s never been the right thing," she told Variety. "She’s the best, and I want to do something with her. We send each other books and talk about stuff, but it hasn’t been right."

"I watch her movies when I’m on location, and I’m by myself," she added, referencing some of Julia's classics. "I have movies of hers downloaded on my computer that I watch for comfort. ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’ and ‘America’s Sweethearts’ are my safe movies."

Rail cars carrying hazardous materials derailed in North Dakota on Friday and caught fire, the latest train derailment in the U.S. as concerns over railroads remain high.

Twenty-nine cars of a Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) train derailed around 3:45 a.m. in a marshy area surrounded by farmland that’s about 140 miles northwest of Fargo, according to Andrew Kirking, emergency management director for Foster County.

Video from the scene shows intense flames and thick black smoke rising high into the clear morning sky and the fire burned for at least 12 hours after the initial derailment. Kirking said it appeared that 10 to 15 of the rail cars caught fire.

70-CAR TRAIN DERAILS IN NORTH DAKOTA, SPILLS HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: OFFICIALS

By late afternoon Friday, responders were able to "go on the offensive" in fighting the flames and have had "some success knocking the fire down," Kirking said. With water on both sides of the tracks, officials were still working to get equipment close enough.

There were no injuries reported – with the engineer and conductor getting away safely-- and the threat to those living nearby appeared to be minimal.

It is unclear what caused the derailment. 

The cars were carrying anhydrous ammonia, sulfur and methanol, with ammonia posing the biggest risk, according to Bill Suess, spill investigation program manager for the North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality. However, wind was carrying the smoke away from the nearby town of Bordulac, which has about 20 residents.

Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia in the air can cause burning of the eyes, nose, throat and respiratory tract, and can result in blindness, lung damage or death, health officials say. Exposure to lower amounts can result in coughing and irritation of the nose and throat.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it is investigating the derailment, per a post on X. CPKC acquired Kansas City Southern for $31 billion in 2021, seeking to create a 20,000-mile rail network linking the U.S., Mexico and Canada.

CPKC said in a statement that it has "initiated its emergency response plan and launched a comprehensive, coordinated response."

The incident marks the latest train derailment in the U.S. as concerns over railroads remain high.

A freight train derailed in Matteson, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, two weeks ago prompting some residents within a mile of the crash to evacuate their homes as officials examined a leaking train car that contained liquefied petroleum gas.

Last year, on March 26, a 70-car CPKC train hauling hazardous materials also derailed in North Dakota, about a mile southeast of Wyndmere in Richland County. No injuries were reported.

Officials said 31 of the 70 cars derailed, some carrying hazardous materials, and crews identified a leak of liquid asphalt. No fires were caused by the derailment.

A month earlier, a Norfolk Southern freight train carrying 38 cars derailed in East Palestine, Ohio and spilled hydrogen chloride and phosgene into the air, forcing residents to evacuate.
