The Man Who Whispered in Actors' Ears

Throughout his long career, Tom Hanks has worked with great directors in the film industry. Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, Wes Anderson, Baz Luhrmann, Sam Mendes… All have been able to benefit from the talents of the actor. It was in 2016 that he met another living legend of Hollywood: Clint EastwoodThe actor has agreed to play the famous American pilot Chesley Sullenberger for the biopic Sully, a pilot who managed to perform a spectacular maneuver to save the lives of 155 people in 2009. The event, known as “miracle on the hudson“, has gone around the world, and this improbable story of an emergency landing on the waters of the Hudson has fascinated people. It didn't take much more for Hollywood to seize it and adapt it for the big screen.

It was during a Graham Norton Show that Tom Hanks recounted how he was directed by Clint Eastwood in Sully. And directed is not a verb chosen at random. He explained that Clint Eastwood looked at him in a somewhat threatening way when he tried to propose ideas for interpretation. “He treats his actors like horses” he adds, in front of a hilarious audience. But this is not an attack on Eastwood, on the contrary. Hanks explains that when the actor who played Inspector Harry played in westerns, the directors would yell so loudly that they would scare the horses. In order not to scare the actors, Clint Eastwood speaks in a low, soft voice, with very short sentences: “OK Go ahead“instead of shouting”action“, And “that's enough” instead of “cut”. “It's terribly intimidating” recognizes Tom Hanks, “Is that enough? Thanks for the vote of confidence” he jokes. Sully did well at the box office with $240 million collected for an estimated budget of $60 million. As for Tom Hanks, we will soon see him in Here directed by Robert Zemeckis.
