Meanwhile, Tom Hanks recently said he thinks he couldn’t play a gay lawyer in Philadelphia today.

“Could a straight man do what I did in Philadelphia now? No, and rightly so,” Hanks told The New York Times Magazine.

“The whole point of Philadelphia was don’t be afraid. One of the reasons people weren’t afraid of that movie is that I was playing a gay man.” Hanks added: “We’re beyond that now.”

“I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy,” he went on.

“It’s not a crime, it’s not boohoo, that someone would say we are going to demand more of a movie in the modern realm of authenticity. Do I sound like I’m preaching? I don’t mean to.”

Tom Hanks can next be seen as Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann’s forthcoming biopic Elvis, released in cinemas on June 24.
