Tom Hanks has had a wonderful career in Hollywood. After having remarkable appearances on the silver screen, the actor made his way to the direction with the 1996 film That Thing You Do! During this, he met Charlize Theron, who auditioned for the 1996 movie.
Although she wasn’t able to land the part she auditioned for, she was able to land a less prominent character, Tina, in the musical comedy.

Hanks had his reasons for not casting Theron as the lead, as she was still new in the industry. And he also had some words of advice for the aspiring actress. However, the Mad Max star later opened up about the advice and how slightly dissed Hanks for backtracking on his words.
Tom Hanks Advised Charlize Theron to Never do TV
Charlize Theron made her Hollywood debut with an uncredited role in the 1995 horror Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest. Since then, she has risen to become one of the most popular and prominent actresses in the industry, with several awards, including an Oscar to her name.

And with a complete transition in the television industry, she also made her way to the small screen like many other Hollywood stars. However, long before that, she received advice not to do TV productions. Tom Hanks is known for his extensive career, which also includes the 80s sitcom Bosom Buddies.
However, while he co-starred in the 1996 movie with Theron, he advised her not to do Television in her career. The Old Guard star has shared that while working on That Things You Do!, she asked the director to sign her script, after which she got the message he had left for him.

She shared that the actor left a note saying that he would always be the one to discover her and ended the note with, “Promise me, you’ll never do television.” However, as the years went by, Hanks himself got involved in many TV projects, leading his co-star to call him out.
