Billy Idol and Julia Roberts
In the '80s, Billy Idol, born William Michael Albert Broad, was a British musician launching his solo career in the United States. His debut album in 1982 became a resounding success, largely due to its popularity on the newly established MTV. As a rock icon of the era, Idol was riding the wave of his musical achievements.
On the other hand, Julia Roberts, a rising star in Hollywood, made her film debut in 1988's "Satisfaction." Remarkably, she crossed paths with Billy Idol, 12 years her senior, while on a flight to Australia when she was just 16 years old. Julia Roberts would go on to achieve global fame and recognition as one of the highest-paid actresses in the world by the end of the '90s, marking a remarkable ascent in her career.
