Tom Hanks on Elvis Presley and How He Prepares for a Really Emotional Scene
Jun 23 2022
With writer-director Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis opening in theaters this weekend around the world, I recently got to speak with Tom Hanks about playing Colonel Tom Parker in the biopic. During the interview, Hanks talked about the way Parker was a promoter and not a manager, why Elvis never fired him, and how he prepares for a really emotional scene. In addition, he revealed his dream project, which would be about Dean Reed, who was an American actor and singer that decided to become a communist behind the Iron Curtain. It’s a wild story.
