Tom Hanks Reveals Why Sleepless In Seattle Made Him 'Cranky,' And How He Changed His Attitude

Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle

Sleepless in Seattle is one of the best rom-coms of the ‘90s. It is sweet, sentimental, and features one of the most likable on-screen duos in the form of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The dreamy romance has something for everyone, and for such a happy film, you’d assume the cast had a blast behind the scenes of the Nora Ephron classic. It turns out, Hanks was actually quite ‘cranky’ while filming the movie; however, something Ephron said helped change his attitude. 

The Elvis star was recently profiled by The New Yorker, where the actor opened up about his experiences working on some of the most beloved films in Hollywood. He has had several director partnerships with legends like Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Nora Ephron, who he worked with on both You’ve Got Mail and Sleepless in Seattle. The Oscar winning actor has said in the past that he was actually quite grumpy when he started working on Sleepless, and now he clarified that much of this came down to him having a different point of view from Ephron when it came to his character.
