Tom Hanks is one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, but he is playing a grumpy person in A Man Called Otto.
So what makes the actor grumpy in real life? The two-time Oscar winner told Yahoo Entertainment’s Kevin Polowy it is people who don’t use their turn signals.
“You know, suddenly the car that is slowing down, and slowing down for reasons that you don’t understand. And then literally stops,” he said. “And if they just turned on their right blinker to say they are looking for a place to park or they are going to pull into that driveway. Everything is fine. But when they don’t do it, everything is hard.”
Hanks is not wrong. But people who don’t shut off their blinker are just as bad.
And I am going to be the latter because I am going to be petrified that Hanks will be driving behind me when I am looking for a space in Los Angeles (which can be hard to find), and I won’t have my signal on. The last thing I would ever want to do is piss off the Bosom buddy.
Howard Stern has said that Conan O’Brien is his favorite guest. So when the late night host was the shock jock’s radio show, the latter asked who is his favorite guest.
O’Brien told him that it was Bruce Springsteen. That is because the singer came early, rehearsed, got to know the cameramen’s names, and stayed after the show was done to hang out.
He was not the only one who came to work, so did Tom Hanks. Conan said that when Hanks was a host on Saturday Night Live, the Oscar winner spent 24/7 at 30 Rock. He also had tons of great ideas and was there to play.
I love to hear that two of the most beloved celebrities are not just putting on act. They are WYSIWYG.
Tom Hanks is going to win his third Oscar because he is playing a role which is the complete opposite of who he is. Mr. Nice Guy is going to play a grumpy old man in A Man Called Otto.
I can’t wait to see this side of him. Because whenever nice people try to be mean, it always makes them nicer. Not that I would know anything about that because I am always mean and taunt kids!

Tom Hanks switched up his volleyball for a baseball on Friday. However, he didn’t want his old friend Wilson to get jealous. Therefore, he brought him along as he threw out the first pitch at the Cleveland Guardians game.
Now, having said that, you would think Wilson would be OK with everything. He wasn’t. Therefore, he upstaged the Oscar winner with a performance even Forrest Gump couldn’t compete with.
I bet Hanks wishes he left that castaway on the island and didn’t bring him on the mound with him,
Colin Hanks has gotten into the handkerchief business, and he came up with a name that is perfect for him. It is Hanks Kerchiefs. Get it? He got his dad’s sense of humor, and I am sure Tom Hanks is proud of his son. Especially when you see how nice the handkerchiefs are.
