The comedian, who was the host of the event, made a joke about the lead character and star of the Toy Story, Tim Allen. He said, “What can I say about our next two presenters? The first is an actor, producer, and director whose movies have grossed over $3.5 billion (£2.7 billion) at the box office. He’s won two Academy Awards and three Golden Globes for his powerful and varied performances, starring in such films as Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Apollo13, and Saving Private Ryan. The other … is Tim Allen.” Tom Hanks is on a 'high horse' A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN, Tom Hanks, 1992. ©Columbia Pictures /Courtesy Everett Collection To this joke, Hanks replied to Gervais when he got to the podium, saying, “We remember when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby but very kind comedian. Neither of which he is now.” Also, at the 2020 Golden Globe awards, Hanks maintained a blank countenance as Ricky entertained the guest with jokes about winners who use the podium to give pollical speeches. While speaking on the Stuff of Legends show with host Christian O’Connell, he commented on the unconcerned attitude of the superstar to his jokes at the 2020 event. He said, “The big meme was Tom Hanks going: ‘why did he say that?’ And people are going, ‘oh, look, he’s on his high horse.’ But when Leonardo DiCaprio laughed, people loved him for it. I think people who laugh at a joke, they get a round of applause because people go. ‘oh, that’s good, they can take it,’ we don’t want people to be above it.” Ricky Gervais regrets his joke GHOST TOWN, front from left: Ricky Gervais (left), Jeff Hiller, Alan Ruck (center, blue shirt), Dana Ivey (center, gray hair), 2008. ©Paramount/courtesy Everett Collection Regarding his 2011 joke, Gervais commented that he regretted the joke and believes that the duo of Hanks and Allen did not understand that he would still have made similar jokes regardless of whoever he was calling up to the stage. “I could say a lot worse things about them, but I don’t want it to get really nasty for no reason,” he further told O’Connell.
