Although he is known as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, Tom Hanks confesses that even he has bad days that affect his behavior on movie sets.
Tom Hanks may be known as one of the nicest actors in Hollywood, but the actor now admits that his behavior on-set hasn't always reflected this. Getting his start in movies in the 1980s and '90s, Hanks is now one of the most widely-known actors of his generation. The star has appeared in the likes of Big, Forrest Gump, and Saving Private Ryan, and most recently starred in A Man Called Otto.
In a recent interview with BBC News to promote his forthcoming novel The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece, which is inspired by his own career, Hanks admits that he hasn't always been on his best behavior on set. The novel features an arrogant male actor who frequently delays and disrupts filming with his self-centered antics, something that Hanks is evidently guilty of himself.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT "I have pulled every single one of those moments of behaviour myself on a set. Not everybody is at their best every single day on a motion picture set. I've had tough days trying to be a professional when my life has been falling apart in more ways than one and the requirement for me that day is to be funny, charming and loving - and it's the last way I feel.
This would largely continue throughout the 2000s and 2010s, but he also started developing a reputation for "dad" roles. Whether he played an actual father figure, such as in Road to Perdition, A Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood, News of the World, or Finch, or the movie itself was simply geared toward older audiences, such as The Da Vinci Code, Captain Phillips, or Sully, Hanks would eventually colloquially become known as "America's Dad".
While certainly not an excuse, actors are frequently dealing with or surrounded by heavy outpourings of raw emotion, which means tensions can run high. That's not to mention the fact that long working hours are the norm on film sets. That being said, the A Man Called Otto star is paid very handsomely for his work, which should command a certain degree of professionalism.
