Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts reveal secrets to marital success
Oprah played 20 Questions with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, who star in the upcoming Larry Crowne movie, on her show today.
Among the things we learned:
Hanks and wife Rita Wilson recently celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary. Q: How has his marriage survived the Hollywood fame trap?
"I happen to still be married because I'm not an idiot,"declared Hanks.
And how about Roberts? "I'm just in love with my husband," she said of Danny Moder, whom she wed in 2002. She added that a friend told her "if you want an interesting relationship, stay in one. And it's true. He gets more interesting every day." Plus, she said, "he's hot."
Q: What's their mantra for living?
"Tell the truth," said Hanks. "That's the secret of happiness. If you tell the truth everything will work out."
Said Roberts: "Forward motion."
Q: What do you watch on TV?
Said Hanks: "The five guys here will understand: The Deadliest Catch."
"Is that a fishing show?" asked Roberts, who was teased so mercilessly by Hanks after that she never answered the question.
Q: When you're at home being Tom Hanks, what are you doing?
"Mmmm, scratching my crotch!" he said.
Julia didn't answer that one, either.
Before the two stars left, they did their own version of Oprah's Favorite Things, which sent the crowd into squeals and cheers as they handed out gifts, although Roberts warned it would not be cars.
First up, from Roberts: Theodora and Callum scarf/wraps, along with Melinda Maria bangles, Lancome mascara and lip gloss, a Coach makeup bag and Serge Normant dry shampoo, Bonnie's Tasty Herb Rub, a Kathy Kaehler workout DVD and a tote bag from the Sea-Thos Foundation.
"I said it wasn't cars, okay?!"
From Hanks, everyone got an espresso maker.
