wouldn’t get made today because they “would be mocked and picked apart on social media,” Hanks quickly brushes off that notion. “There’s nothing you can do about that, but let’s address ‘could a straight man do what I did inThe actor, who is next slated to appear in Baz Luhrmann’swas don’t be afraid” and that part of how audiences of that time were able to engage with that movie was because its leading character wasn’t played by a gay actor.
“One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy,” he said. Hanks went on to defend those who argue that casting gay actors in gay roles or disabled actors in disabled roles is something Hollywood should be doing. “It’s not a crime,” he said, adding, “It’s not boo-hoo, that someone would say we are going to demand more of a movie in the modern realm of authenticity.”
Is it or is it not an actors craft that is being questioned ? Brain dead the lot of them !
Whats the point of actors if you cant play a role different to what you are used to? Might as well bring regular people doing their jobs in the movies instead of actors.
Daniel Day Lewis must give his Oscar back for My Left Foot. Same for Adrian Brody he clearly didn’t live through the a Holocaust. Jamie Foxx isn’t blind so he has to too. Meryl Street didn’t give a baby up to a Nazi or was never a British PM. When did he get so woke?
Now that he's benefitted from it all... 💰 🏆
Tom Hanks should give back his oscars for appropriation. He didn’t really “act”
Honestly there also gay actors play straight role . What a different?
oh bullshit
Shouldn't he have let a real cast away play his role in cast away? 😤 there are a lot of unemployed cast away actors out there. selfish 🙄
He said this while promoting a movie where he wore a fat suit to play a Dutch man. Shouldn't the studio have used a fat Dutch actor instead?
Rightly so? The world's art is litteraly done
I like Tom Hanks a lot but this just seems like someone saying the 'correct' thing so that they can seem all modern and noble. If he shouldn't have been allowed to play a gay man with AIDS then why did he do it in the first place?! He wasn't a kid back then.
Times change. You can either change with them, or stay in the past and get upset about stuff you never really had any control or say over anyways.
What a stupid thing to say from an ACTOR
People are mad about this with the whole “but it’s called ACTING.” I suppose it’s respectable for Julia Roberts to play Aretha Franklin or Rosa Parks in a film, since it’s just acting, right? His point was that authenticity to a role is just as important as the acting.
Hell, we might as well as stop making fictional films and just do documentaries.
Bullshit. It was as obvious back then as it’s obvious now. He only says the right think when is no trouble for him
ALWAYS LYING TO MOMMA.
Clearly, this is bs. I'm all for fair and equal opportunities but if you have to be the thing you're portraying then stop making films and go make documentaries instead. Actors act. Maybe we should ask real aliens to fight real gods instead of actors in things like Marvel movies?
Surely that means Hanks - and any other actor - would be exempt from playing any role at all?
Typical.
Looks Like the woke mob hasn't found anything bad about Tom Hanks yet, so they keep digging..
So can a gay guy play a straight guy? tomhanks is talking poppycock. It’s called acting.
jesus christ
More woke bullshit
