In a surprising turn of events, Hollywood icon Tom Hanks has announced his decision to leave the entertainment industry, citing the pervasive influence of what he describes as “woke culture” as the primary factor behind his departure.
Hanks, known for his roles in classic films such as “Forrest Gump” and “Saving Private Ryan,” expressed frustration with the increasing politicization of the industry and the pressure to conform to certain ideological narratives. “I got into acting to tell stories and entertain people, not to push agendas or walk on eggshells,” he stated in a candid interview.
The Oscar-winning actor’s decision has sparked conversations about the challenges faced by artists and creatives in navigating the evolving landscape of public discourse and social expectations. While some have criticized Hanks for what they perceive as a retreat from important conversations, others have commended his courage in standing up for artistic freedom and integrity.
