<p>Veteran star Tom Hanks won his first Oscar for best actor for essaying the role of a gay man with HIV in Jonathan Demme’s 1993 legal drama ‘Philadelphia’. 30 years apart, the actor now feels no&nbsp;straight actor would no longer be able to play the openly gay character today. In an interview with The New York Times, Hanks opened up about straight performers playing LGBTQ characters, Variety reported.</p>

<p>He said, "Let’s address ‘could a straight man do what I did in ‘Philadelphia’ now?’ No, and rightly so. 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. We’re beyond that now, and I don’t think people would accept the inauthenticity of a straight guy playing a gay guy."</p>

Tom Hanks says no straight actor would do a gay ‘Philadelphia’ role in modern times

<p>With Valentine’s Day weekend hitting us with a void as the coronavirus pandemic continues to play a spoilsport, Tom Hanks starrer ‘News of the World’ is something that one could stream as a leisure watch. A slow burn for most parts, this one is for those who enjoy Tom Hanks doing his magic on the screen but alas this needs a taste and lots of patience to survive the entire run.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based in the post<strong> Civil War phase of America,</strong> <strong>Tom Hanks</strong> plays his paternal best to a young orphan girl who was kidnapped by Red Indians and now identifies herself as one of them as she has forgotten her parents and family and has no home. On a mission to find the girl a home, Tom Hanks traverses through the Western side of the country to reach her last surviving family but that’s not where the story ends.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘News of the World’ explores the relationship between two strangers who meet accidentally as their paths and futures align surprisingly. Co-written and directed by Paul Greengrass, the film makes you feel bad for both the orphan (Helena Zengel) and Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd (Tom Hanks) while anticipating the end shown in the climax as they journey some miles together in ‘search for a home’. Fighting off scoundrels and looters on the way, Tom Hanks gives it his all in ‘News of the World’ but the screenplay sort-of limits him to a linear role.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Helena Zengel is fantastic as the orphan girl, acting her age -- boorish and defiant in most parts, strong and mindful in others. She matches Tom in every frame, not leaving a scene where she is taken over by Hanks’ towering personality on screen. She’s an actor to look out for.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film captures America and its rustic state of Texas in that time period of history craftly. A little more pace would have done the film some good.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As the world discussed and expressed their shock at the news with prayers flooding from everywhere for the much-celebrated actor -- Tom Hanks shared a new picture from quarantine.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He wrote, “Today, he has posted a new picture with his wife Rita and thanked the health staff for taking their proper care. Sharing the picture on social media, Hanks wrote, “Hello folks. @ritawilson and I want to thank everyone here Down Under who are taking such good care of us. We have Covid-19 and are in isolation so we do not spread it to anyone else. There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness. We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no? Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball. Hanx”</p>
