Tom Hanks’ 2022 is going well. The actor is promoting Elvisbiopic where he plays the controversial representative of the king of rock, and perhaps in a few months will be screened in the new Wes Anderson and in the flesh and blood version of Pinocchiodirected by Robert Zemeckis.
The extra work brings him more and more often to the front page as well. A few days ago, for example, he caught on with his fans because they harassed him on the streets of New York and his words echoed on a classic he could play in the nineties: Philadelphia.
In a dialogue with the New York Times, Hanks abandoned his role as Elvis’ “salesman” and took the time to ponder some questions about his career. More precisely, he focused on how the success of Jonathan Demme from ’93 for which he won an Oscar.

“Can a straight man do what I did in ‘Philadelphia’? No, and rightly so. Philadelphia’s goal was not to live in fear. One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie was that I was playing a gay, ”Hanks began.
And he continued: “Now we are over, and I don’t think people would accept the nullity of a straight person playing a gay. It’s not a crime, it’s not a whine if someone asks for more than one film in its current state of authenticity. “
The star’s comment obviously has to do with the passage of time and the representation of minorities in a Hollywood that has had difficulty – and still struggles – to open up.

The actor’s opinion finds its basis in the film’s busy theme. Philadelphia is about the social and judicial struggle of a lawyer (played by Hanks) who discovers he has HIV and is fired from the firm where he works.
Tom was pulled
thank you gone mad when his wife Rita Wilson she was nearly knocked down by a bunch of her fans. And the normally serious and measured character had his face transformed and left aside the image of a calm boy.
Tom and Rita were heading to their car Wednesday night in New York when the swarm of fans rushed to ask for autographs and selfies. The crowd became so large that a fan ran into Rita and tripped her over.
