Tom Hanks And Rita Wilson Scold A Red Carpet Staffer At The Cannes Film Festival

Tom Hanks heatedly discussed while walking the red carpet at the premiere of his film Asteroid City.

At the Cannes Film Festival’s premiere of his new film Asteroid City, Tom Hanks was seen scolding a worker on the red carpet. The 66-year-old, known for his calm demeanor, displayed visible frustration as he directed a pointed finger toward the young individual. Joining Hanks on the red carpet was his wife, Rita Wilson, also seen holding her hand up in front of her as she spoke to the unnamed staffer.

However, a hint of irritation remained visible on Hank’s face as the trio spoke before gracefully moving along the red carpet, pausing momentarily for photos at the event. Hanks opted for a black tuxedo, which he paired with a white shirt. His partner Rita looked breathtaking in a chic black dress with a long black cloak that flowed the ground behind her.

Meanwhile, Asteroid City, directed by Wes Anderson, is set in the 1950s in a fictional American desert town that has an eerie feel to it. The stage is set at a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention, where students and their parents converge for a scholarly competition. But the tranquility of the event got shattered when an unforeseen global event unfolds, plunging the proceedings into chaos and disarray.

‘In my loneliness, I’ve learned to give complete and unquestioning faith to the people I love,’ Hanks’ character tells Schwartzman. ‘I don’t know if that includes you, but it included my daughter and your four children.’ In a scene leading to see Grandpa Hanks, Jason’s car broke down and it was taken to Asteroid City to get repaired. His son, played by Jake Ryan immersed himself in an unwavering fascination with the city’s annual junior stargazer competition.
