Hanks and Roberts go to war

Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts have attended the world premiere of their new film, Charlie Wilson's War.

It's the first screen outing for Roberts since Ocean 12 three years ago - in the meantime, she's had three kids and has admitted she's enjoying motherhood.

She said: "I'm not so busy with the films, I'm just busy with the kids, I love every minute of it, it's fantastic."

The Oscar-winning actress also said she had a great time working with Hanks on the new movie.

"He's so dreamy and sweet and honest and good," she said. "I just adore him, I really do."

The film follows the life of Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (played by Hanks) and his outstanding contributions to ending the Cold War and the fall of the USSR.

Hanks said: "I think Charlie was a brand new mystery. Never heard of him before until I read this book and I was amazed. He was a guy that existed in the halls of Congress and affected world history and we never even heard of him. That's a good secret. That's a good story."
