Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland

Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland Among the most famous celebrities who were left at the altar is of course, Kiefer Sutherland. In 1991, he was supposed to marry his Flatliners co-star Julia Roberts but she broke up with him three days before their wedding. She also ran off with his best friend, actor Jason Patric on the very day she was supposed to marry Kiefer.

UPD:

The Hollywood wedding that never happened between Julia and Kiefer has remained etched in celebrity lore. The fairy tale unraveled spectacularly, with the Runaway Bride scenario grabbing headlines and leaving fans in shock. Some speculate that the intensity of filming Flatliners may have spilled over into their real lives, leading to a romance that wasn't built to last. Meanwhile, Sutherland, years later, would express his feelings, saying the broken engagement was "one of the greatest things that ever happened to me." Despite the drama, all parties involved have since moved on to forge successful careers and personal lives.
