Tom Hanks Pulls a Chappell Roan As Oscar-Winner Shouts at Photographers During The Phoenician Scheme Premiere
Tom Hanks jocularly tells off photographers at the New York City premiere of his latest star-studded comedy, written and directed by Wes Anderson. Pop culture enthusiasts would be reminded of Chappell Roan confronting a rude photographer.
Hanks brought his classic sense of humor to the red carpet at the premiere of The Phoenician Scheme on May 28, jokingly badgering photographers in a scene that quickly went viral.
As he made his way down the red carpet, the 68-year-old star was beset on all sides by popping cameras and came to an abrupt halt. Irritated, but perhaps jokingly, Hanks shouted out to the snappers, telling them to hurry up so he could proceed down the line to interview waiting journalists.
In a hilarious on-camera meltdown caught by MTV UK and posted on social media, Hanks mocked the press corps for their "cushy jobs." In the clip shared by the outlet on X, Hanks said, "Can you hurry it up so I can get to these people... You and your cushy jobs."
Even at one point, he pretended to stormily shout for them to "shut the f--k up," all with a huge grin on his face.

Did Tom Hanks Lash Out At Paparazzi At The Phoenician Scheme Premiere?
Last Updated: Tom Hanks and Bryan Cranston portray basketball-loving brothers in the film. Tom Hanks gave the photographers more than just good angles at the New York City premiere of his film The Phoenician Scheme. The premiere was held at Jazz at Lincoln Centre on Wednesday, May 28. While posing for photos, Hanks found himself the subject of some light teasing from photographers who joked that the official studio photographer was taking too long. According to Page Six, the 68-year-old actor smiled and gestured towards the rest of the photographers, saying, 'I want to be right where [the other photographers are]," making it clear he was ready to move down the line. The moment got even funnier when he turned towards one cameraman and jokingly shouted, 'Shut the f*** up!" The comment made all the photographers burst out laughing. Hanks wasn't the only one having fun. Bryan Cranston, who plays his brother in the film, also joined in. When someone pointed out that his tie was a little crooked, the Breaking Bad star responded with: 'My tie is askew!" He even thanked the photographer, saying, 'Thanks for letting me know my tie was askew." Cranston kept the humour going, saying, 'I'm going to come out with a line of ties called Askew!" Both actors took time to pose for group photos with director Wes Anderson and the rest of the cast. That included Benicio del Toro, who plays fictional tycoon Zsa-zsa Korda, Mia Threapleton, Scarlett Johansson, Hope Davis, Michael Cera and Stephen Park. Cranston also shared a fun memory from the set of Wes Anderson's film. 'I think it was when Tom and I, playing brothers, were absolutely marveling at what Benicio del Toro was asked to do. Massive amounts of very tricky dialogue," he told People. Cranston added with a laugh, 'Tom and I are going, 'My God, I'm so glad I don't have that role.' We were saying to [del Toro], 'What can we do for you? What can we bring you? Can I massage your feet?'" The Phoenician Scheme follows wealthy industrialist Zsa-zsa Korda as he launches a strange new business with his daughter Liesl (played by Threapleton) and her tutor Bjørn (Michael Cera). Along the way, they encounter assassins, revolutionaries and more eccentric characters, including the basketball-loving brothers Leland and Reagan, played by Hanks and Cranston. The Phoenician Scheme hits theatres on May 30. First Published:
