"Alright well, it's late and I'm paying my babysitter overtime and I have to pee," Julia said at a Film Society of Lincoln Center event honoring Tom Hanks in NYC Monday, reports Us Weekly.
"So Tom, everybody f-----g likes you. All my bits are gone. Listen, I had lunch today with Rita [Wilson, Hanks' wife], and her t--s were here [motioned high] and her waist was here [motioned small] and her a-- was like that [motioned high], so what can I tell you that's new? Tom Hanks, what the f--k?"
Luckily, audience members, which included Steven Spielberg, Sally Field, Charlize Theron and Ron Howard, among others, found her speech hilarious.
She went on to give Tom a breakdown of the movies she loved and hated him in. "I love the Cohen brothers, but the hair Tom [in Ladykillers], I didn't even know what the f--k that movie was about!"
She continued, "You in the airport [The Terminal] with the accent? It was a pass for me. Airport? Were you just an immigrant lost? I didn't know. I love you, and I didn't know what to do, really. God, I’m wearing the same f-----g dress tonight as your publicist!"
"Listen, I've got to get home. But this much we know ... I will say this: Tom Hanks, I love you."
It's safe to say Julia stole most of the spotlight, but clearly, she has nothing but love for Tom. Speaking of Tom, when asked what he was most excited about that night, he told reporters on the red carpet he was looking forward to partying behind closed doors. Oh to be a fly on that wall. Party on Tom!

We've seen young starlets like Lindsay Lohan and Corey Feldman spiral out of control and hit rock bottom. Between the rehab stints, DUI's, and drug busts, it's a wonder how they've made it out alive.
Although child actors generally get a bad rap, we give credit where credit is due, and director Ron Howard deserves praise. Howard, who played Richie Cunningham on Happy Days, made the remarkable transition from child actor to critically acclaimed director.
Knowing a thing or two about growing up in the spotlight, we got his thoughts on child actors and the difficulty of staying on the right path.
"It’s a very difficult thing for someone to know about themselves or their own journey. But it happens. Such as Jodie Foster, who has had such a remarkable career," Howard told Hollyscoop exclusively at the 20th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival on Tuesday.
He added, "It's very challenging when a child goes through that awkward adolescent period, so all that pain and all that awkwardness gets so amplified if you’re known and living a celebrity life. It tends to drive people into hiding. I always loved it; I stayed with it because I knew I wanted to make it my life’s work."
Speaking about the Lindsay's and Britney Spears's of the world, Howard added: "I look at anyone that goes through that kind of turbulence and most people do, and I just say, if you take the camera and shine it on any hundred people, any 19 year olds, you’d find some pretty outrageous behavior going on."
"Its part of the territory of working in a high profile profession," he told Hollyscoop exclusively. "But I always kind of feel for people struggling with that."
So how do young stars stay grounded? "Just have amazing friends and amazing family," Dakota Fanning tells Hollyscoop. "They wouldn’t let me be any other way than I am. They keep me true to myself." Dakota has proved time and again that she's not only a remarkable actress, but also wise beyond her years.
Maybe Howard and Dakota can get a 'How Not to be a Screwup 101' workshop going. Hey, with this economy, everyone can use a side job.
