Tom Hanks is everyone’s ideal on-screen dad. I wish he was mine

msn.com:

News of the World, and Woody from Toy Story is one of the all-time great non-dad dads in cinema. Even in something as morally soupy as Road to Perdition, you could chop Hanks’s character in half and see the words “Great Dad” running through him like a stick of rock.

But really? You want Tom Hanks to play your dad in a film? Your actual dad? You want to make the movie of your life, and go to the enormous expense of hiring Tom Hanks, only to give him a part that consists solely of him picking up the phone to you, grunting a short hello and immediately passing the receiver to your mum?

That seems like quite a weird waste of resources. Video: British Filmmaker Is Asked For A Hug By Shamima Begum After Extraordinary Interview (Wales Online)Wally.
