When you think of Hollywood’s nicest actors, Henry Winkler and Tom Hanks’ names immediately come to mind. However, these two men do not get along.
Yesterday, when The Fonz was on Watch What Happens Live, a caller wanted to know if it is true that he and Kip Wilson had a falling out when they worked together on Turner & Hooch in the late ’80s. Turns out Winkler was hired to direct the film and on the lucky 13th day, Jeffrey Katzenberg sent him home never to return again.
Andy Cohen asked him that is true, Winkler said, “I got along great…great with that dog.” Then he added, “I love that dog.”
Of course, he said it in the nicest way possible because when it comes to Hollywood’s nicest guy, he is tops on that list. Followed by Jerry O’Connell. Hanks used to be third, but now he is going to be slipping a few notches after this reveal.
We need to get these two men together and have them reconcile. I feel like if they can’t make it work, no one else can. How can we expect peace in the Middle East if these two cannot be bosom buddies? I feel like all of my happy days just became sad ones.
On that note, I wonder if Hanks has had an issue with Winkler because he kicked his a$$ during their 1982 fight on Happy Days. Never saw their epic fight, then click here!
Yesterday, Sony released the trailer for Tom Hanks as Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Part of starring in that movie is singing the theme song that every kid knows until this day
However, the Oscar winner has sung that song before in several of his movies. It was just in code, a code that Jimmy Fallon broke on The Tonight Show yesterday.
Therefore, his films like Philadelphia, Big and Toy Story were all leading to this. Who knew?
The first trailer is out for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood that has Tom Hanks starring as Mister Rogers. If that is not enough reason to put a huge smile on your face, then the 2:26 seconds that come after you hit play will do just that.
Both men are pure goodness. There is no actor who could do a better job playing the legend, so I will be there on Thanksgiving seeing this movie. Because I am thankful that I had both of them to look up to when I was growing up.
And thankfully as This Is Us’ Susan Kelechi Watson warns her husband in the promo, it doesn’t ruin our childhoods. It just makes the make-believe a reality!
Tom Hanks is one of the most beloved stars in Hollywood. Do people love him so much, that he can get away with blatantly committing a crime?
That is what Jimmy Kimmel wanted to find out. Therefore, he sent the actor out to the souvenir shop a few doors down from where Jimmy Kimmel Live tapes to steal a cardboard cut out of himself. Would the multi-Oscar winner do it?
Of course, he would! The only thing he thinks he could get arrested for is “being too charming.” No lawyer could object to that.
With that dare, Hanks left the studio, walked over to the store, greeted some tourists, vandalized a Matt Damon cut out and stole his own. I guess he liked it so much he also stole some fake Oscar statuettes. Did anyone stop him? Of course, not. It is Tom Hanks, he can get away being a thief. After all, he already stole all of our hearts!
I think this would make a great reality show. Every week, Tom Hank is sent somewhere around the World to steal something to see if he can get away it. With each episode, it gets progressively harder until he gets up to the DaVinci Code level of thievery. How exciting would that be to watch? Plus, his comedic commentary would make it even more fun to watch.
I just hope he does not run into the one police officer who has never seen any of his movies. Is that even possible? Who hasn’t seen Forrest Gump, Toy Story, Big or The Green Mile? The latter one better not be the movie the cop is a major fan of and wants to aspire to for Hanks’ sake.
We have all done things once that we will never do again. For me, it was going to Alabama (I have been saying that ever since I went there and have never been back). For Tom Hanks, it was not following the Instapot directions to a T. For Ellen DeGeneres, it is dating men! That is obvious, but it was still great the way she answered the question.
While we did not learn much else from this Burning Questions segment, I think the Governor of New Jersey needs to give him his own bridge. Why not rename the George Washington Bridge after him. Oh wait, if they did, then anyone going over it would hate him. Better yet, what about the Goethals Bridge, who cares what the people of Staten Island think! I am from The Bronx, I can say that! That and I tease my cousin, who lives there, about that all the time.
