Ricky Gervais criticizes Tom Hanks for the Golden Globes voice response

British comedian Ricky Gervais has spoken about what he thought of Tom Hanks’ reaction to his speech at the Golden Globes earlier this year.

He had made scathing jokes about Hollywood’s elite that provoked both laughter and disapproving looks from the A-list audience.

Gervais, known for his unparalleled comedy style, joked about Hollywood’s lack of diversity, film producer Harvey Weinstein, who was charged with sexual misconduct by more than 80 women, and the suicide of financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Actor Tom Hanks, who received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony, was caught with a disapproving look by Gervais during the monologue that went viral on Twitter.

During an interview, Ricky criticized the “Forrest Gump” actor for having the privilege of being “above” the joke.

Regarding viral memes triggered by Hanks’ reaction to his speech, The office The Creator said, “The big meme was Tom Hanks said, ‘Why is he saying that?'”

And people say, “Oh, look, he’s on his high horse.” But when Leonardo DiCaprio laughed, people loved him for it, “he shared.” I could say a lot worse about them, but I don’t want that it gets really nasty and for no reason. ”

He continued, “I think people who laugh at a joke get applause because people say, ‘Oh, that’s good, they can take it.’ We don’t want people to be above it.

“We even allow people to be privileged as long as they say, ‘I know that I am privileged, but I am nothing real.’ We don’t want people to leave. Oh, I deserve it, how dare you talk to me like that ‘.

“And we feel that if we really believe these people are starting to believe their own hype, we want them to take a pen or two down.”
