Clint Eastwood is one of the most prestigious actors and directors in the industry, and it is an honor for anyone to work with him. However, Tom Hanks did not have such a good time, and below we will tell you why.
If we have to mention a Hollywood legend, we definitely have to choose Clint Eastwood. The iconic actor and director has become one of the greatest figures in classic and current cinema, and at 93 years of age, he is still as active as before, as he is currently working on his new film: Juror # 2.
Throughout his long career, Clint Eastwood has starred in some of the most important films in history, such as The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Dirty Harry, A Fistful of Dollars, The Runaway Alcatraz, The Unforgivable, The Bridges of Madison, among many others.
He was also responsible for forging an impressive career as a director, where he was behind such films as The Unforgivable, The Bridges of Madison, Mystic River, Twists of Fate, Letters from Iwo Jima, Gran Torino, Sniper, The Mule, and Sully: a feat in the Hudson, among many others.
In Sully: Feat on the Hudson, he had the chance to work alongside Tom Hanks, another of the industry's most beloved actors. There, the interpreter was in charge of giving life to the airplane pilot Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who on January 15, 2009, managed to save the lives of the passengers on board a flight that was forced to make an emergency landing in the River Hudson.
The film is based on true events and focuses not only on the great feat achieved by this pilot but also on the entire investigation process that comes afterward since questions begin to be asked about whether his execution and handling of the situation were appropriate. The film was highly praised by critics, especially for Eastwood's direction and Tom Hanks' performance.
Interestingly, the 67-year-old actor revealed how difficult it was for him to work with a figure like Clint Eastwood, confessing that most of the time he felt. Apparently, the director and actor is famous for having a very marked character on his shoots, something he learned many years ago when he was still an actor.
Visiting the talk show The Graham Norton Show, Tom Hanks revealed that Clint Eastwood treats his actors "like horses." This is all because when Eastwood was part of the Western series Rawhide in 1959, he had to work a lot with horses, and in order not to scare them, he had to address them without yelling at them and in a respectful manner.
Clint decided to keep this habit throughout his career, especially as a director, for this reason, instead of yelling at his actors “Cut” or “Action”, he chooses to approach them and quietly and calmly ask them to start. to act out. This detail greatly puzzled Tom Hanks, who confessed to feeling "very throughout the entire shoot."
Even so, the actor stated that having been able to work with Clint Eastwood was an honor since he is one of the great figures of cinema. Sully: Feat on the Hudson was highly praised and both Eastwood's and Hanks' work were nominated for several awards, including a Critics Choice Award.
