Tom Hanks has given fans a unique insight into the fractious relationships, bad habits and studio pressures that underscore a major Hollywood film set in a debut novel inspired by his own illustrious career.
The Oscar-winning actor has developed a reputation as one of the most grounded stars in Hollywood, but newly released book The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece suggests his behaviour hasn't always been so favourable.
Hanks drew from more than 40-years in the film industry to produce the novel, in which he refers to "cry-babies, psychological train wrecks, on-the-wagon alcoholics, off-the-wagon addicts... and more than a couple of feuds between the Talent."
The 448 page book, released in May, centres on the development of a big-budget superhero film with an enigmatic director and a cast of misfits - notably an egotistical male lead who repeatedly impedes the shooting schedule.
And Hanks admits he's had his fair share of bad days in the office, not least during his early years as the go-to leading man in a string of Hollywood comedies.
