At the 36th annual Film Society of Lincoln Center Gala Tribute on Monday night in New York, where Oscar winner Tom Hanks was presented the new Chaplin Award, Roberts kept her tribute brief.
Roberts told Hanks that "everyone likes you."Only Roberts added an expletive before "likes." And the crowd roared with laughter.
Assessing Hanks' 2004 movie "The Terminal," in which he played an Eastern European trapped in Immigration at J.F.K., Roberts said, "That movie about you and the airport and the accent was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn't know. I love you, but I didn't know ... and I'm wearing the same dress tonight as your publicist."
As luck would have it, Roberts and the publicist both opted for a cream dress by Dolce & Gabbana.
When it was his turn at the podium, Hanks told the black-tie crowd that Roberts has so much clout that the big story of the evening would be: "Julia Roberts wears same dress as publicist."
