Henry Winkler
Dishes on Tom Hanks Tension
Published
Henry Winkler is opening up about why his relationship with Tom Hanks is so tense … and he says repairing the relationship isn’t off the table.
In a new interview on “In Depth With Graham Bensinger,” Henry recalls getting fired as the director of Tom’s movie “Turner & Hooch.”
Henry said he felt a bit out of his depth when he took the job, and explained … “I, at that time being insecure, I talked too much and I gave them direction. I [did] what I thought was my job, and I wanted to do it over again, and apparently that pissed them off.”
He said he got sacked not even 2 weeks into filming … he was devastated and didn’t handle the firing well.
When asked where the tension in their relationship came from, Henry responds that he’s not sure, considering Tom was a guest star on “Happy Days” before he made it big.
Henry said … “We did a retrospective of ‘Happy Days,’ and we wanted 60 seconds of Tom Hanks in his episode, and we did not get permission for that.”
As far as his takeaway … Henry says he’s “still working” on his perspective about the whole thing.
But peep the clip … it seems like Henry’s open to putting those not-so-happy days behind them.
