Tom Hanks reacts like a normal human being, gets angry, and curses at fans, who later apologized to the legendary actor for being wrong.
A video has surfaced on Thursday, showing America’s favorite dad leaving a restaurant in New York with his wife, Rita Wilson.
Tom Hanks has been making the rounds promoting his latest movie, Elvis. Hanks plays Elvis Presley‘s manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
Hanks and his spouse were walking toward their car when a large group of supporters approached them. It seems that Hanks and Wilson had a few security personnel with them.
A security guard, who sensed an issue could arise, attempted to clear the way for Hanks and Wilson to walk through the enthusiastic crowd.
Some fans got too close to Wilson to take photos with her or ask her to sign autographs. One of several supporters bumped into Rita Wilson, who tripped and almost fell.
After catching her balance, Wilson, visibly upset and shaken, turns and firmly tells the group “to stop it.”
When Hanks understood what had happened, he rapidly walked to the front of the crowd, protected his spouse, and angrily screamed.
Tom Hanks waved his arms in the air and shouted at the people who almost accidentally hurt his lady love: “[That is] my wife, back the [expletive] off. Knocking over my wife.”
Aware that their behavior could have harmed Hanks’s wife, the group loudly apologized. Several people said: “Sorry about that, Tom.”
After the brief screaming session, the husband and wife marched to their car. Wilson and Hanks have been married since 1988 and share four children.
Tom Hanks recently made headlines for an interview where he was honest and even blunt about his career.
The Oscar winner said there are some movies he regrets making and roles he would not land in this new modern society.
Talking about his hit 1993 movie Philadelphia where he played a gay man who was dying of AIDS, he said it would not be possible today.
He stated: “Let’s address ‘Could a straight man do what I did in Philadelphia now? No, and rightly so. The whole point of Philadelphia was don’t be afraid. One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy.”
He slammed the billion-dollar trilogy The Da Vinci Code by calling it “hooey.”
Hanks explained that the Ron Howard-helmed franchise was “as cynical as a crossword puzzle” and continued: “God, that was a commercial enterprise. Yeah, those Robert Langdon sequels are hooey. The Da Vinci Code was hooey. I mean, [author] Dan Brown, God bless him, says, ‘Here is a sculpture in a place in Paris! No, it’s way over there. See how a cross is formed on a map? Well, it’s sort of a cross.’ Those are delightful scavenger hunts that are about as accurate to history as the James Bond movies are to espionage…All we were doing is promising a diversion.”
Hanks appears ready to be more authentic.
