Tom Hanks Hates Promotion

Tom Hanks recently sat down for a Times Talks Q&A, where he talked about doing press junkets to promote movies. Here’s what he had to say, as reprinted by Page Six:

“A press junket for a motion picture is the most opprobrious thing that human beings have ever been put through. It is merciless. It is a level or corporate branding strategy to the degree of hackery and they honestly think you have the stamina of an ox to drag this piece of shit movie across international datelines. It goes on forever until truly you cannot fathom words that are coming out of your mouth.

When you see a movie star talking about their film, understand they hate themselves. The motion picture they made is a blur in the background. Even when they see it, they don’t remember any of it.”
