Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have bottled up the secret to marital success
Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson walked the Pre-Grammy Gala red carpet discussing what they believe is the success to a great relationship, after being married for 34 years.
Rita Wilson is setting the record straight about a photograph that landed her husband Tom Hanks in the hot seat.
The moment, captured on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet Tuesday, shows Hanks appearing to speak angrily with a staffer.
However, Wilson said the moment between Hanks and the staffer was not what it seemed.
"This is called I can’t hear you. People are screaming. What did you say? Where are we supposed to go?" Wilson explained in an Instagram story.
"But that doesn’t sell stories! Nice try," Wilson added. "Go see Asteroid City!"

Hanks and Wilson appeared on the red carpet for the screening of "Asteroid City." Hanks stars in the Wes Anderson comedy about a Junior Stargazer convention.
Hanks, 66, wore a black tuxedo while Wilson, also 66, sported a black floor length gown featuring beaded work and accessorized with a cape.
Hanks has previously gotten involved in heated altercations. The actor yelled at a group of fans to "back the f--- off" after Wilson was nearly knocked over as people swarmed the couple leaving a New York City restaurant last June.
The "A Man Named Otto" star appeared stunned. "Knocking over my wife?" he asked at the time as he stood looking visibly annoyed.
