A Legendary Director with an Unforgettable Approach

Tom Hanks, the renowned Hollywood veteran, has had countless memorable experiences on movie sets throughout his career. But one collaboration stands out above the rest – his work with the legendary director, Clint Eastwood. In a recent interview, Hanks shed light on the fascinating and sometimes intimidating world of collaborating with Eastwood.

Hanks portrayed the role of Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger in the film “Sully: Miracle on the Hudson,” which garnered him numerous accolades. However, his experience working with Eastwood was far from ordinary. On The Graham Norton Show, Hanks revealed his initial intimidation by Eastwood and his unique directing style.

Describing Eastwood’s quiet demeanor and unconventional way of giving instructions, Hanks made an intriguing comparison between the director’s experiences on the 60s series ‘Rawhide’ and his handling of horses. Rather than resorting to the traditional “Cut!” command, Eastwood preferred a gentle approach. Hanks humorously mentioned that hearing Eastwood say, “That’s enough of that,” can be quite intimidating for the cast. Nevertheless, Hanks acknowledged Eastwood’s drive for authenticity in capturing the reality of each moment.

A Commitment to Authenticity that Transcends Expectations

During his appearance, Hanks expressed his admiration for the authenticity portrayed in “Sully: Miracle on the Hudson” and his deep gratitude for Clint Eastwood’s dedication in creating a true masterpiece. Notably, the real-life Sully, Chesley Sullenberger, played an actively involved role in the production process.

Hanks marveled at Sullenberger’s level of dedication, sharing how he brought in a dog-eared, marked-up script filled with meticulous notes and comments. This attention to detail demonstrated Sullenberger’s commitment to accurately depicting the procedures and emotions of the extraordinary event. Hanks couldn’t help but appreciate the opportunity to be part of such a significant project.
