On the red carpet in Cannes, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson appeared to get into a heated argument with a member of the event’s organizational team.
At the time of the incident, Hanks was attending the screening of Wes Anderson’s film ‘Asteroid City’ at the 76th Cannes Film Festival. Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hanks, Margot Robbie, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Steve Carell, Willem Defoe, and others star in the film.
Red mist on the red carpet
However, prior to the film’s premiere, an incident on the red carpet made headlines, with Hanks and Wilson seen angrily gesticulating at a member of staff. Several photos show the couple with scowling expressions and pointing fingers, clearly upset about something.
It is still unclear what this was all about, and various media outlets have been unable to obtain answers from those involved. However, it appears to have been a minor incident that passed quickly.
Wilson has now clarified the situation.
All smiles from Hanks
Other photos taken shortly after the incident show Hanks and Wilson smiling happily for the cameras. For the time being, the reason for his brief loss of composure remains unknown.
Wilson has since explained that Hanks was involved in an argument with another man in their presence, not with her.
