off." He looks at the group angrily, before adding: "Knocking over my wife." The pair then leave the scene in a waiting car. Some members of the group immediately apologize, and can be heard saying: "Sorry about that, Tom." BBC News has asked representatives for Hanks, who has been married to Wilson since 1988, for comment. While Hanks did not become physical with any fans, he is the second Hollywood A-lister to publicly come to his wife's defense in recent months, following Will Smith's altercation with Chris Rock at the Oscars. Earlier this week, Hanks gave an interview where he said he would not be able to play his Oscar-winning role in 1993's Philadelphia today. In the film, the actor portrayed a gay man who is dying of Aids. "Let's address 'Could a straight man do what I did in Philadelphia now?'" Hanks said to the New York Times magazine. "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."
