Tom Hanks will maintain his reputation as the nicest guy in Hollywood.

After the ‘A Man Called Otto’ star and his wife, Rita Wilson, went viral for appearing to scold a man on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet for ‘Asteroid City’, the singer clarified that neither she nor her Husband couldn’t hear given the loud screams.

“’It’s called I Can’t Hear You. People are screaming. What did you say? Where are we supposed to go? “, She wrote on an Instagram Story screenshot of a post about their alleged tiff.

“But that doesn’t sell stories!” Nice try,” she continued. “Go see Asteroid City!”

Dressed in a classic black tuxedo, the Oscar-winning actor and ‘Throw Me a Party’ singer were pictured looking angry at a stranger on the red carpet.

In a seemingly heated exchange, a stern-looking Hanks, 66, even pointed his finger at the man as Wilson, dressed in a bejeweled black dress, did the same.

The exchange seemed to last only a few moments, as the “That Thing You Do!” the co-stars continued to walk the glittering red carpet and pose for photos.

The longtime couple’s appearance comes nearly a month after the “Forrest Gump” star and Wilson celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.

“35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything,” Wilson, also 66, captioned a photo of herself staring at her husband.

They share two children together: sons Chet, 32, and Truman, 27.

The “Cast Away” actor is also the father of son Colin, 45, and daughter Elizabeth, 41, from his previous marriage to college sweetheart Samantha Lewes.
