Screen legend John Travolta occasionally wrestles bouts of jealousy - over Tom Hanks' career. The actor confesses some of his biggest career mistakes were turning down roles Hanks subsequently made into hits. But despite his errors of judgment, the 53-year-old is content his other acting projects have made him one of Tinseltown's greatest stars.

He says, "I wouldn't trade (my career) for anyone's except Tom Hanks', I don't think. Other than Forrest Gump and The Green Mile, which I was offered and should have done, and Splash was written for me, I still like my career better because of what I specifically contribute to it."

Travolta also turned down the role that went to Richard Gere in An Officer And A Gentleman.
