Tom Hanks says he wouldn’t be able to play his Oscar-winning roles in ForrestGump and Philadelphia today — and “rightly so”
wouldn’t get made today because they “would be mocked and picked apart on social media,” Hanks quickly brushes off that notion. “There’s nothing you can do about that, but let’s address ‘could a straight man do what I did inThe actor, who is next slated to appear in Baz Luhrmann’swas don’t be afraid” and that part of how audiences of that time were able to engage with that movie was because its leading character wasn’t played by a gay actor.
“One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy,” he said. Hanks went on to defend those who argue that casting gay actors in gay roles or disabled actors in disabled roles is something Hollywood should be doing. “It’s not a crime,” he said, adding, “It’s not boo-hoo, that someone would say we are going to demand more of a movie in the modern realm of authenticity.”
