Tom Hanks is aware of some of the duds he’s been a part of. During a panel discussion at The New Yorker Live with editor-in-chief David Remnick, Hanks got honest about not being in love with some of the movies in his decades-long filmography. On a previous occasion, Tom Hanks admitted to making only four “pretty good movies.”

The ‘Forest Gump’ star explained, “Here are the five points of the Rubicon that are crossed by anybody who makes movies: The first Rubicon you cross is saying yes to the film. Your fate is sealed. You are going to be in that movie. The second Rubicon is when you actually see the movie that you made. It either works and is the movie you wanted to make, or it does not work and it’s not the movie you wanted to make.”

He added, “That has nothing to do with Rubicon No. 3, the critical reaction to it — which is a version of the vox populi. Someone is going to say, ‘I hated it.’ Other people can say, ‘I think it’s brilliant.’ Somewhere in between the two is what the movie actually is. The fourth Rubicon is the commercial performance of the film. Because, if it does not make money, your career will be toast sooner than you want it to be. That’s just the fact. That’s the business. The fifth Rubicon is time.”

During an interview with the BBC to promote his novel ‘The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece,’ Tom Hanks made a surprising confession about not having a picture-perfect image on set. There have been times during the 66 year-old-actor’s career when he wasn’t at his best behavior. Many things can go wrong on a set, but he’s always maintained his punctuality.

Tom Hanks explained how his on-set behavior is part of his novel, “I have pulled every single one of those moments of behavior myself on a set. Not everybody is at their best every single day on a motion picture set. I’ve had tough days trying to be a professional when my life has been falling apart in more ways than one and the requirement for me that day is to be funny, charming and loving — and it’s the last way I feel.”
