Tom Hanks has revealed what he believes to be the most “stupid” moment of his career.While appearing on The Graham Norton Show, the Oscar-winning actor reflected on his 30-year career before focusing specifically on his experience filming Ron Howard’s space drama Apollo 13.Released in 1995, Apollo 13 tells the true story of Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert, astronauts who find themselves in life-threatening danger when their journey to the moon goes wrong.It was while filming the movie’s most quoted line – when Hank’s Lovell says: “Houston, we have a problem” – that the actor found himself in an embarrassing situation.Hanks told Norton: “Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton and I were recreating the serious moment right after ‘Houston we have a problem,’ and we’re going up and down on grips making us look weightless.”The Forrest Gump actor said he wouldn’t usually have been embarrassed by this, but that day, the cast and crew happened to receive a visit from Lovell himself.Hanks continued: “We looked ridiculous and when I looked down there was Jim looking up at us,” adding: “I have never felt more stupid in my life.”Apollo 13 was nominated for nine Oscars, winning two in the Editing and Sound categories.Hanks appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote an exhibition called The Moonwalkers, which he narrates and co-wrote with director Christopher Riley.The installation tells the stories of the Apollo space missions, with the technology in the rooms designed to make audiences feel as if they’re sat alongside the astronauts.Earlier this year, Hanks admitted that he “hates” some of the movies he’s starred in, although he didn’t specify which ones.Speaking with The New Yorker, the actor explained: “Ok, let’s admit this: We all

Miller’s book of the same name, and scripted by John Orloff, “Masters of the Air” follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (the “Bloody Hundredth”) as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air. Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich, is at the heart of “Masters of the Air.” Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed.
