‘I don’t have any Hollywood-style neuroses’: Tom Hanks opens up about his ‘nice guy’ side that everyone appreciates

Tom Hanks takes on the features of Colonel Parker for “Elvis”, one of the most anticipated films of the month of June at the cinema.

When we take a furtive look at the career of multi-Oscar winner Tom Hanks, we say to ourselves that, with such a pedigree, the hero of “Apollo 13” should, theoretically, have had a stratospheric ego. Nay, in the movie-business landerneau, the former GI of “Saving Private Ryan” has remained a simple guy, accessible and not devoid of common sense. In “Forrest Gump”, his character was running to escape a certain reality. In real life, Tom runs away from pretense. Funny, smart, bubbly; he is definitely the “nice guy” of Hollywood. The interviewer is like recess.
