Rita Wilson reveals truth behind her, Tom Hanks' 'scolding'

Tom Hanks will maintain his reputation as the nicest guy in Hollywood.

After the “A Man Called Otto” star and his wife, Rita Wilson, went viral for appearing to scold a man on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet for “Asteroid City,” the singer clarified that neither she nor her husband could hear given the loud screaming.

“‘This is called I can’t hear you. People are screaming. What did you say? Where are we supposed to go?’” she wrote over an Instagram Story screenshot of an article about their alleged tiff.

“But that doesn’t sell stories! Nice try,” she continued. “Go see Asteroid City!”

Dressed in a classic black tuxedo, the Oscar-winning actor and the “Throw Me a Party” songstress were photographed looking angry at an unknown man on the red carpet.

During one seemingly heated exchange, a stern-looking Hanks, 66, even pointed his finger at the man as Wilson, dressed in a bejeweled black gown, did the same.

The exchange appeared to last only a few moments, as the “That Thing You Do!” co-stars continued to make their way down the glitzy red carpet and pose for photos.

The longtime couple’s appearance comes nearly a month after the “Forrest Gump” star and Wilson celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.

“35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything,” Wilson, also 66, captioned a photo of herself gazing at her hubby.

They share two children together: sons Chet, 32, and Truman, 27.

The “Cast Away” actor also is dad to son Colin, 45, and daughter Elizabeth, 41, from his previous marriage to his college sweetheart, Samantha Lewes.
