Tom Hanks Is Awed By Irrfan And Thinks He’s The Coolest Guy In The Room, Always!

So apparently, Hollywood’s coolest actor Tom Hanks lost his thunder. Yes! Tom Hanks has lost his massive eye-turner-coolest-guy-in-the-room gong to none other than Mr. Irrfan Khan!

Tom Hanks says that he was very happy being the coolest guy on the sets of ‘Inferno’ until Irrfan Khan came along and stole his thunder.

“Here’s what I hate about Irrfan Khan… I always think I’m the coolest guy in the room, and everybody’s hanging on to every word I say and everybody’s a little intimidated to be in my presence. And then Irrfan Khan walks into the room. And he’s the coolest guy in the room.”

Tom Hanks jokingly adds that when Irrfan is in the room, all eyes are on him and people just hang on to every word he says.

 

Irrfan has proved his mettle in Hollywood. Be it ‘Namesake’, ‘The Jurrasic Park’ or ‘Life of Pi’, the world knows him as a great actor. Tom Hanks is no different. Apart from being hugely impressed by his acting skills, Tom Hanks digs Irrfan’s style too. He says,

“And as soon as I walked up to him I said, ‘Irrfan Khan, I’m going to steal from you everything I possibly can. I’m going to start speaking very quietly in films.

I’m going to wear very nice suits. And I will draw out the last sound of every sentence that I say.’ And by doing that, I will be doing a very pale imitation of the coolest guy in the room.”

 

Tom Hanks says that they did not get to do a lot of scenes together. He says, “I was only in a couple of scenes with Irrfan. It was heartbreaking.”
