Did Tom Hanks Lash Out At Paparazzi At The Phoenician Scheme Premiere?
Tom Hanks and Bryan Cranston portray basketball-loving brothers in the film.
Tom Hanks gave the photographers more than just good angles at the New York City premiere of his film The Phoenician Scheme. The premiere was held at Jazz at Lincoln Centre on Wednesday, May 28. While posing for photos, Hanks found himself the subject of some light teasing from photographers who joked that the official studio photographer was taking too long.
According to Page Six, the 68-year-old actor smiled and gestured towards the rest of the photographers, saying, 'I want to be right where [the other photographers are]," making it clear he was ready to move down the line. The moment got even funnier when he turned towards one cameraman and jokingly shouted, 'Shut the f*** up!" The comment made all the photographers burst out laughing.
Hanks wasn't the only one having fun. Bryan Cranston, who plays his brother in the film, also joined in. When someone pointed out that his tie was a little crooked, the Breaking Bad star responded with: 'My tie is askew!" He even thanked the photographer, saying, 'Thanks for letting me know my tie was askew."
Cranston kept the humour going, saying, 'I'm going to come out with a line of ties called Askew!"
Both actors took time to pose for group photos with director Wes Anderson and the rest of the cast. That included Benicio del Toro, who plays fictional tycoon Zsa-zsa Korda, Mia Threapleton, Scarlett Johansson, Hope Davis, Michael Cera and Stephen Park.
Cranston also shared a fun memory from the set of Wes Anderson's film.
'I think it was when Tom and I, playing brothers, were absolutely marveling at what Benicio del Toro was asked to do. Massive amounts of very tricky dialogue," he told People.
Cranston added with a laugh, 'Tom and I are going, 'My God, I'm so glad I don't have that role.' We were saying to [del Toro], 'What can we do for you? What can we bring you? Can I massage your feet?'"
The Phoenician Scheme follows wealthy industrialist Zsa-zsa Korda as he launches a strange new business with his daughter Liesl (played by Threapleton) and her tutor Bjørn (Michael Cera). Along the way, they encounter assassins, revolutionaries and more eccentric characters, including the basketball-loving brothers Leland and Reagan, played by Hanks and Cranston.
The Phoenician Scheme hits theatres on May 30.

Katy Perry's ex-boyfriend Orlando Bloom hilariously responds to Justin Trudeau dating buzz
Orlando Bloom definitely knows how to laugh at himself, especially when the internet tries to drag him into his ex's rumored new fling. For days now, Katy Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau have been making headlines, with the internet convinced the two are a thing after being spotted on multiple outings, including Trudeau attending Perry's concert. All this comes just days after Bloom and Perry announced the end of their decade-long relationship. So when a satirical site tried to twist the narrative and brought former German Chancellor into the mix, Bloom couldn't resist responding. Also read: Justin Trudeau seen dancing and swooning at Katy Perry's concert; fans say, 'better than Orlando Bloom' On Saturday, satirical site The Onion posted a fake headline claiming Orlando Bloom had moved on as well, this time with none other than former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The made-up story had it all: candlelit dinner, oysters, chocolate cake, and a ridiculous insider quote saying Angela had him laughing all night. 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancée Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel,' it read, alongside an AI-generated image of the two at a dinner table, wine in hand. The post added, 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night, he couldn't keep his eyes off her!' But instead of brushing it off or getting annoyed, Bloom dropped a quick '👏👏👏' in the comments, fully in on the joke. Also read: Justin Trudeau looks smitten on second date with Katy Perry in new pictures; former Canadian PM adds more fuel to romance rumours After announcing their split, Bloom and Perry were spotted spending time together with their five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom, whom they welcomed in 2020. The pair said they were parting ways on good terms, no drama. However, just days later, Katy and Justin Trudeau were spotted not once, but twice, in Montréal on July 28. First, they grabbed dinner and drinks. Then the next day, they were seen walking a dog through Mount Royal Park before heading to Le Violon, a swanky local spot for dinner. And two days later, Trudeau was caught vibing in the crowd at her concert, mouthing the lyrics like he'd been a fan for years. Trudeau, who officially split from his wife, Sophie Grégoire, last year, seems to be settling into his post-politics chapter. Perry, meanwhile, called off her decade-long engagement with Bloom in early July. A Canadian source told People there's real chemistry: 'They're attracted to each other,' adding they've got plenty in common, 'idealistic, optimistic, and still trying to make the world a better place.' Despite the breakup, reps of Bloom and Perry said, the ex-couple is on the same page about parenting and 'will continue to be seen together as a family.' As for Trudeau, he's reportedly staying cautious. Another source said he's used to living privately and is not one to show off a new relationship until it's serious. 'He knows people are watching,' the source said, 'so he's being low-key about it for now.'
