Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks are without a doubt two of the most beloved and successful movie stars in American history are asking their audience to suspend reality for awhile when they go and see the pairs latest movie " Larry Crowne", – a middle-aged man forced to enroll in college after he's laid off from his job.
Hanks and Roberts both admit to having their early on in their careers about rather they would make it or be able to survive in the film industry.
Hanks recalls a time when he was renting a house in California, a house he couldn't afford, then being fired from the job, and not being able to find any work or prospects for 13 months. .
Roberts recalls similar feelings early in her career saying, "I was selling shoes between jobs" and was having her doubts on rather or not she would make it in the film industry.
Both stars were quick not to insult the unemployed millions by pretending to truly understand their pain for the benefit of box-office bucks.
Hank admits that unlike the character he plays in his new film he has never had all of my ability to make a living taken away from me or had my entire world crushed like that. I've lost gigs as an actor thinking that this is in development and I'm going to play it.
But there's not a person in the world that can't empathize with the idea of walking into a place that you think you're kind of like a king at and next, you're out there with all your possessions before lunchtime."
