Yes, F*cking A! injuries that no one deserves, not even celebrities. Only because some fans or were there paparazzi too, on the scene who can’t allow celebrities to have a quiet night.

While Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were getting into their car after what could have been part of an event to publicize his new movie, the much-awaited Baz Luhrmann-directed film, “Elvis.”

Fans were seen swarming around the much-beloved actor and his wife, actor Rita Wilson.

In the video footage, exuberant fans were seen inches away from the power couple and what happened next is inexcusable.

While out in New York City Wednesday night, the Oscar-winning actor became enraged when an overzealous group nearly knocked over Wilson, who ended up losing her footing and wobbling away.

“Stop it!” Wilson, 65, shouted.

“My wife? Back the f–k off! Knocking over my wife?!” Hanks, also 65, then screamed before the couple hustled into a waiting car.

One fan could then be heard apologizing, saying, “Sorry about that, Tom.” — Reports from Page Six.

Has Tom Hanks gone Will Smith 2.0?

While Hanks did not get physical with any fans, he is the second Hollywood A-lister in recent months to publicly defend his wife, following Will Smith’s Oscars fight with Chris Rock. — BBC

Rage? Toxic Masculinity? Wife Protector?

Let us not confuse what happened here with Tom Hanks and the weirdness of what happened during Oscar night.

Will Smith who used to be another Mr. Nice Guy was off the mark in his outburst, his toxic message of “Love will make you do crazy things,” only made him the poster boy of the Angry Black Man in America.

Final words

In an interview years ago, Tom Hanks disclaimed the Mr. Nice Guy reputation, he said he has a dark side and be careful when you cross him, he makes sure he gets even.

‘I’ll tell you this: if anybody takes advantage of my good nature, they’ll have hell to pay. Anyone who has done it, will say, “Oh he’s not that nice a guy”,’ Tom said.

Recently fans were worried about how gaunt Tom Hanks looks today and the unexplainable shaking of his hands in a now-viral video.

Again, what happened to Rita Wilson is wrong, at 65 years old a slip and fall would have easily turned into a nightmare.

Celebrities are people too, we forget it too many times. They get mad as hell, and unlike Will Smith, Tom Hanks very well had valid reasons to tell those punks pretending to be his fans.
