No more Mr. Nice Guy: Tom Hanks drops F-bomb on fans who nearly toppled Rita Wilson

America’s favorite nice guy, Tom Hanks, lost his signature cool on Wednesday night when a group of fans swarmed him and his wife, Rita Wilson, in New York City. Hanks also made headlines this week for candid remarks he made in a New York Times interview about starring opposite Denzel Washington in “Philadelphia.” He said that a straight actor like himself likely wouldn’t be cast as a gay man living with HIV/AIDS if the 1993 film were made today — and “rightly so.” “One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man,” Hanks said. “We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy.” Hanks has been doing a lot of press recently while promoting his latest project, “Elvis,” starring Austin Butler as the the late Elvis Presley. While appearing Monday on “Good Morning America,” Hanks fondly recalled watching the film with Presley’s family at a recent screening in the music legend’s hometown of Memphis, Tenn. “Elvis Presley is Memphis,” Hanks said.
