Hanks steals show after nose blows

TOM Hanks stole the show at The Plaza on Wednesday when the moderator of a panel with the “Forrest Gump” icon suffered from a spontaneous bloody nose onstage. Hanks was appearing with “Weeds” star Mary-Louise Parker at the David Lynch Foundation’s Change Begins Within: Healing the Hidden Wounds of War gala, and the actors were meant to participate in a Q&A on Transcendental Meditation. But then moderator Bob Roth’s nose began to bleed. “Mary-Louise got right in there, telling [Roth] to tilt his head back and helping him with the Kleenex,” a spy at the event told Page Six. But “Tom kept the crowd entertained, joking, ‘Is there a dentist in the house?’ He basically did a stand-up routine.” Hanks apparently also joked of the incident, “Oh my Lord, it’s still coming!” and “I can’t hear you, there’s blood in your mouth.” But the panel managed to go on. When Parker said that Roth — CEO of the David Lynch Foundation — should “make it down to the White House” to teach President Donald Trump how to meditate, Hanks jumped in with a spot-on Trump impression, we hear. “I am the best meditator,” he bellowed. “I meditate better, faster, deeper than any other president in the history of the world.” At the gala were Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan and finance gurus including Dan Loeb. This week, Hanks also weighed in on Hollywood’s rampant sexual-harassment scandals, telling the BBC, “I’ve been in rooms with 40 women discussing the subject and the percentage of women who had experienced that kind of predatory sexual nature from a superior was 100 percent.”
