Tom Hanks was walking what is probably his millionth red carpet, and he decided to have some fun with the flash photographers.
First, he jokingly told them that he wanted to be over where they are doing their cushy jobs. As someone who has stood on many red carpets, it is not a cushy job, even if it looks that way to the actors.
But he was not done playing with the people taking his photo at the Phoenician Scheme premiere in Manhattan. When one of the photographers thanked him, he told them to, “Shut the fuck up!” Then he laughed with them. Because I am sure they appreciated one of the actors acknowledging them, instead of just posing, like almost all of them do.
The Phoenician Scheme, which also stars Bryan Cranston and Scarlett Johansson, comes out tomorrow.
Chet Hanks was 4 years old when Forrest Gump was released, so the movie has had a significant impact on his life.
So much so that he has just released a music video with his band, Something Out West, recreating several scenes from the Oscar-winning film that starred his dad.
If he is going to pay homage to one of Tom Hanks’ most famous roles, then he better include his dad in You Better Run. And he did.
It was nice to see the father and son have such a good time together! That was the best part about it.
Chet Hanks’ dad is Tom Hanks. However, today, on The Drew Barrymore Show, he did something that other actor Tom did. He jumped up and down on the couch like Tom Cruise did on The Oprah Winfrey Show when he declared his love for Katie Holmes.
Hanks wasn’t declaring his love for anyone. Instead, he was jumping up and down for joy because he was making his talk show debut to promote his Netflix series Running Point.
Can you believe that this was his first one? You would think with a dad like his, he would have been doing this since he was in diapers.
Am I the only person who wanted to see Forrest Gump and Jenny have their happy ending? However, we didn’t get it because she died of AIDS.
That was that movie. Now, in Here, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright reteamed with Robert Zemeckis to give us that happy ending we never got but with different characters.
Here is an original film about multiple families and a special place they inhabit. The story travels through generations, capturing the human experience in its purest form. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, screenplay by Eric Roth & Zemeckis and told much in the style of the acclaimed graphic novel by Richard McGuire on which it is based, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright star in a tale of love, loss, laughter and life, all of which happen right Here.
Now, we have to talk about how they de-aged the actors. He looks like he did in Bosom Buddies, and she appears like she did when she was the Princess Bride.
Here will be released in theaters on November 15th.
Norton wanted to talk to the legend about the fact that someone is going to be playing her in a biopic. So, Julia Roberts yelled out, “Say it’s me. Please, say it’s me.” Then, Cher looked over her, tapped her shoulder, and said, “OK. It’s you.” to shut her up, which Roberts didn’t do.
Julia then imitated the unique way Cher flicks her back. And you can tell at this point Cher was over it because the singer looked at Norton as to say to him that he should pay attention to me and not her.
So he got the message and did. That is when he asked her if they had cast someone to play the part. And she said they haven’t because she can’t find anyone to fit her extraordinary life into a script short enough to be a movie.
So Cher asked for Tom Hanks’ help since he produced Mamma Mia 2, a movie she starred in, and he loved her singing in it. He especially loved the way she sang Abba’s Fernando. So he said as long as someone sings that song, it will be fine.
Hanks accidentally opened up a can of worms because she explained to him that she will be doing her own singing in the film. She hates it when people sing other people’s songs in production because it never sounds like the original singer.
That is when Roberts chimed in again, to explain not all the time. That is because Timothée Chalamet, who was also a guest, had just been cast to play Bob Dylan.
The difference between Cher and Dylan, is she is known for her voice, and Dylan for his lyrics.
Anyways, back to Cher. Roberts added that no one is like Cher and lovingly asked her, “How do you stand yourself?” Cher told, “I don’t! I’m a pain in the ass.”
But not as big of a pain in the ass as Roberts was to her during this episode.
And there was just one more zinger from Cher to Julia. When Cher said that her life was too big for a movie script, Roberts suggested they turn it into a miniseries. Cher didn’t even look at her when she said with disdain, “Yeah. I don’t think so.”
And with that, I love Cher even more! Because she doesn’t have time for anyone’s bullshit, including another Oscar winner who used to be highest paid female film actress.
