Tom Hanks disappointed by lack of sex scenes

Tom Hanks, 52, admits he was disappointed when it was decided that the sex scenes that were to appear in his new movie Angels & Demons — and which occur in the book — were cut. The filmmakers decided to pack in more action rather than take the time to incorporate a romance between Tom’s character and the female lead, played by Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer, 39. Hanks told Parade magazine: “We really don’t have time to make out or go to bed when Cardinals are being killed on the hour. We tried to work it into the screenplay over and over again. We were like, ‘Isn’t there a bigger car with a bigger backseat?’ But we were stuck with an Alfa Romeo so we didn’t have an opportunity to grab some smooching on the way to the Pantheon or the Piazza Del Poppolo. It’s my loss, but I think it did make it easier for Ayelet.” Anyone else relieved they didn’t have to watch Hanks having sex in a car?
