Hollywood star Tom Hanks ("Forrest Gump") also has a bad day. No one is always "in top form" on the film set, said the 66-year-old in an interview with the British broadcaster BBC. "I've had difficult days where I've tried to be professional. In the process, my life was falling apart – in many ways." Nevertheless, the requirement was to be funny, charming and loving.
On the other hand, Hanks prides himself on always being on time. "What can't happen on a film shoot is that someone messes around with the time or the length of the shoot or the budget." In the film business, such behavior is a sin. "You'd be amazed," Tom Hanks also said, "how many people know that they can still get away with this kind of behavior – and be told so."
Hanks presented his first novel to the BBC. "The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece" is about the shooting of a multimillion-dollar superhero action movie starring a difficult actor.
