Tom Hanks’ novel reveals he’s not always been a nice guy on a film set
Possibly one of the most-loved actors of the current times, Tom Hanks, has now written his first novel and wants the world to know that he’s not as nice as everyone makes him to be. As a means to “release from the never-ending pressure” of making movies, Tom Hanks is publishing “The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece” inspired by his own career. Tom Hanks said being in the movies for a long time can result in “lack of curiosity for the job”. “Sometimes you just have to have some other reason to spark your imagination,” he said. How he started the process was he wrote in between films. “I wrote in between films, I wrote wherever I was, I wrote on planes, I wrote at home, I wrote on vacation, I wrote in hotel rooms, I wrote on long weekends when I wasn’t working,” he said.

Ed Sheeran says he was snubbed from Coronation Concert and never received an invite
Ed Sheeran has claimed he never received an invite to perform at this evening’s Coronation Concert this evening, as fans begin to flood to central London for the special music event. Speaking earlier this month, the Thinking Out Loud singer, 32, expressed his desire to “set the record straight” after reports began circulating that he’d rejected the opportunity to perform before the newly crowned King and Queen. Ed claimed however that there was no offer from Buckingham Palace to turn down, and so instead, he’ll spend his Sunday evening as a guest judge on American Idol, as full-time judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie perform for the newly crowned head of state in London. The star – who recently gushed over his friendship with Taylor Swift, claiming she ‘truly understands him’ – added that she’d “excited to tune in” to the bash taking place at Windsor Castle later this evening. “Lots of people are saying…
