Kate Winslet grills Sam over dinner

WHILE Kate Winslet used her cringeworthy acceptance speech at the Golden Globes to thank, among others, her husband Sam Mendes, who directed her in Revolutionary Road, it seems that working together may not have been such unalloyed joy for him - at least at dinner time.

Kate, 33, admits that while Sam was able to switch off after a day at work, she was so preoccupied with her acting she wouldn't allow him his tea until he'd discussed her performances with Leonardo Dicaprio.

"What was a shock to Sam was to get home from rehearsal and I'd go, 'Right now, when you said today that thing...' He'd be like, 'Whoah, babe! Hang on! Stop! You've gotta just give me a second here - let me just eat dinner. Write these things down and we'll talk about them in rehearsal tomorrow'," she admits.

"I'd be like, 'No but, but no because then the intricacies will be gone and I'll forget about it and it won't come out the same anyway if I write it down and say it tomorrow'."

Poor Sam!
