Hanks worked with the director on 2002 drama Road To Perdition and was so thrilled by the experience he urged Winslet to star in one of her spouse's movies, reports contactmusic.com.

But the actress failed to find a film she and Mendes could collaborate on until she came across the script for Revolutionary Road.

"Wonderful actors like Tom Hanks would tell me that Sam was so great to work (with). I'd be telling them to shut up because I was starting to get a bit jealous. I wanted to experience the side of him and when I did it was as if the final piece of a puzzle of who my husband really is slotted into place," she said.
