What happened to Tom Hanks at Phoenician Scheme red carpet?
Tom Hanks garnered significant attention during the New York City premiere of The Phoenician Scheme when he playfully lost his temper with a photographer on the red carpet. The actor was posing for official photos when others in the press jokingly complained that the shoot was dragging on.
Wanting to keep things moving, Hanks humorously gestured toward the other photographers and exclaimed, “I want to be right where [the other photographers are].” Then, he jokingly yelled, “Shut the f— up!” prompting laughter from the photographers around him. (via Page Six)
Hanks wasn’t the only one keeping things light. Bryan Cranston, who plays his brother in the film, had his own moment when a photographer pointed out that his tie was slightly crooked. Cranston exclaimed, “My tie is askew!” before turning to a photographer and dryly adding, “Thanks for letting me know.” He then joked about launching a new product, “I’m going to come out with a line of ties called Askew!”
The red carpet was a star-studded affair with Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Cera, Steve Park, and Hope Davis in attendance. Following the screening at Jazz at Lincoln Center, guests made their way to the afterparty at the Metropolitan Club. Celebrities like Matthew Broderick, Jon Hamm, Gina Gershon, Steve Buscemi, and Catherine Keener were also spotted at the event.
