Seriously! I almost had a heart attack!! Ugh


Same! I thought he had died for a second! Don’t do that to us.


That wasn't my first thought for Hanks. Some of you sound traumatized.

While I wouldn't blame the first wife in these cirumstances, I think this context of a very young marriage and immediate baby does matter. Creates a lot of stress for anyone, really. And certainly, publicly, there's never been a breath of any cheating or anything other than a solid relationship since he married Rita Wilson. More importantly, professionally he's extremely well regarded by other actors, directors, etc. Lots of behind the scenes stories (not told or promoted by him, so not self-aggrandizing) about how supportive and kind he is to young, lesser-known actors, when he could be a divo on set if he wanted.

You do if your goal is to attract as many people to your thread as possible. People who have no interest in discussing how good a person Hanks is have checked out this thread.

The world and people suck! OMG, I thought he was a good one.


Read the post above that gives some context, PP. This isn't like (to reference another thread here) Michael Jackson, whose whole career and art are horrifically tainted by his personal life. It isn't even like, say, Ewan McGregor, who ended a 25-year marriage to marry the other woman. Look at the context involved before you declare anyone sucks here.
