Adding to the list of stars who have been honoring the late Paul Newman, Tom Hanks is opening up with his own heartfelt memories of the Paul he personally knew.In a statement to "The Insider," Tom had this to say about his 'Road to Perdition' co-star:
"Paul Newman told me his hotel in Chicago was a room at the YMCA, which was not hard to imagine. He considered himself just another member of the acting company, who would call his wife during breaks and confess to feeling self-conscious on the first day of shooting. But he was Paul Newman, and could not mask the fact he was simply -- yet elegantly -- an extraordinary artist and man. How lucky we all have been."
The legendary film icon passed away last Friday after a battle with cancer. He was 83.
