Tom Hanks lives to portray any human being that is/was a celebrity.
Aside from Mr. Rogers and Walt Disney, I doubt any of his other real life characters would qualify as a celebrity.
Chesley Sullenberger, Carl Hanratty aka Joseph Shea , etc..
Don’t see it.
Ummmmmmm….this is some hardcore, next level proactive “I’m not a bad creep, I promise” work right here.
yeah my instinct is too be creeped out by this and i couldnt put it into words
Really? This doesn’t seem out of step with any career choices thus far. Also, I don’t think Tom Hanks needs to create a “nice guy narrative” he practically invented it.
He’s been pretty touchy about #metoo.
Yes! He pings my creep or bad guy meter, so I think that this is both an Oscar attempt and trying to keep the narrative.
His “pinging your meter” means absolutely nothing. Let’s not start convicting people because we don’t like them. If it comes out that someone is a “creep” or predator then have at ’em.
Did you hear about Mark Salling? He allegedly committed suicide. they found his body floating in the river near his house.
I just read about that on TMZ.
What? I just read “suicide by hanging.” How was he floating in a river?
“his body was found in the Los Angeles River in Sunland, “.. he hanged himself on the riverbed.. who knows for now..
im more concerned he wasnt in jail
He was likely going to be sentenced and headed to jail in March. I assume he felt it was too much or whatever, and decided to act.
I feel sorry for his family – but much more sorry for all the victims.
He attempted suicide last year too apparently.
He had a plea deal that meant 4-7 years in gaol, I read.
Wow. Just wow.
I absolutely loved watching Mister Rogers as a kid but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy oh why do we need a movie about him?
Because there’s money to be made but I agree with you. He was a genuiniely decent good guy.
I think we really need Mr. Rogers’s messages about kindness again, especially now. I have hopes that this will be a good movie with a great message. This is one I can actually get behind.
RBG is skipping the SOTU, good for her.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Adam Ant’s “Ant Invasion” is the background music for the trailer… cute.
.. still don’t want to see it though.
I always found him creepy. Not excited about the movie.
Wow – All these Tom Hanks haters. I have always thought he seemed like a genuinely nice person.
Yeah, I’ve never heard anything bad. I don’t get it!
After his “we’ll all be fine” crap about Trump being elected, nothing he does interests me. He’ll be fine for sure. He’s a famous, incredibly wealthy, white man. His family and celebrity friends will be fine too, so I guess that’s good enough for him.
I’m actually a little surprised at the people saying they get a creep vibe from Hanks. I have always gotten a genuinely good guy vibe from him. Huh. Who knows what the real story is, but it’s interesting how our radars ping so differently.
I believe there was a blind item at one time about an affair between two actors, and the popular guess was Ginnifer Goodwin and Tom Hanks (Big Love). If the blind was true, Hanks promised to leave his wife, Rita Wilson, for Ginnifer, but then he dropped her cold. But again, these were guesses for a blind item, so don’t shoot the messenger. Just offering it up as one possible reason there might be a bit of anti-Tom sentiment.
I think that this is both an Oscar attempt and trying to keep the narrative.
I remember stumbling across the Mr. Rogers interview in Esquire and thinking how wonderfully moving it was. I just reread it online and was still affected by it. I am not surprised that the reporter’s life was changed forever as a result of meeting Mr. Rogers. I will watch this movie.
I love Tom Hanks!
Look for video of Mr. Rogers’ testimony to Congress. Wish he could have lived forever….
I’m old enough to remember all that the first and gossip about him when he was first starting out
He’s a creep
