Tom Hanksis passing on his acting wisdom to anotherTom— Holland, that is.
Hanks, 62, delighted the audience ofThe Graham Norton Showwhen he revealed how much work goes into voicing his character Woody inToy Story 4.
“I have never begun a recording session without wishing it was already over,” Hanks told host Graham Norton, along with his fellow guests: Holland, 23,Gwyneth PaltrowandJake Gyllenhaal.
“Because understand, Woody is clenched all the time. He’s clenched,” Hanks said. “There’s something he’s gotta explain, or, ‘Come on, guys!’ Or, ‘No, no, no, no, look out, look out, look out! This way, this way.'”
“It’s all that and you can’t move, the microphone is right there, and you have to be like this,” he continued, showing how tense his body language could get inside of a recording studio.
Hanks explained voice acting was more of an acting exercise in which actors have to say the same line different ways. He recruited Holland to repeat one line, “‘Coffee, you think I want more coffee? Boy, do I need more coffee,'” after Hanks asks him, “‘Would you like some more coffee?'”
Trying the exercise out, Hanks prompted Holland with the question. The young actor, however, looked baffled, but after a moment, he took his cues, delivering the lines with slowly building desperation until he finally said, “Coffee, please, Tom Hanks, give me some more coffee!”
Gyllenhaal, 38, pointed out hisSpider-Man: Far From Homecostar had said the lines in an American accent, to which Holland responded, “I can’t act with an English accent anymore.”
