It was a bit awkward, even though it all happened 30 years ago. In 2006, Kiefer Sutherland was asked during a Rolling Stone interview if he had forgiven Jason Patric. He said, "It's not a matter of that. We were friends, and I'm surprised that I never got a call from him saying I've fallen in love with da-da-da. Instead, I found out from a stranger."
Julia Roberts has weighed in on the scandal, too. Back in 1994, she told Rolling Stone that the wedding was not canceled at the last second, Sutherland was not left jilted at the altar, and he didn't find out from a stranger or on TV. She was asked about comments Patric reportedly made about bringing attention to herself, and Roberts said, "... it really hurt my feelings."
On "Inside of You," Sutherland said his breakup with Roberts was a "difficult time" for him. However, in a 2016 People interview, he admitted that it took courage for Roberts to cancel the wedding. "We were both young, and we were both very much in love, we had decided that we wanted to get married."
"She was arguably the most famous woman in the world ... in the middle of that, I think she had courage," he added. "It wasn't what she wanted to do, in the end. And I think it took a lot of courage, in amongst all of that other stuff, to be able to say, 'I can't do this.'"
