Tom Hanks’ Wife Rita Wilson Responds To Red Carpet Scolding

While attending the 76th Cannes Film Festival for the screening of Asteroid City, Hank’s new movie, on Tuesday, May 23, the veteran actor and his wife were captured on the red carpet in what appeared to be a possible altercation with one of the event staff members. Headlines began causing a swirl of attention surrounding the photo, which quickly went viral.

Reports flooded in that Hanks was scolding the staffer, as Hanks was photographed with a very concerned facial expression while shaking a finger in his face. The photo can be easily interpreted as Hank yelling aggressively at the staffer. What can also be seen in the image is his wife Wilson seemingly up in arms with the staff member as well, pointing a finger and visibly leaned in towards him with some intensity.

Remarkable Mag took to Twitter to describe the scene as an “explosive altercation.” Remarkable Mag went on to say, “It was evident that Tom was disgruntled as the trio exchanged words before proceeding down the red carpet to partake in the customary photo opportunities.”

But Wilson had a very different version of the story to tell. Coming to her husband’s full defense, she claims that the media got it all wrong. She dished her perspective on her Instagram, detailing that it was merely a matter of not being able to hear what the staff was saying clearly.
