Tuesday, during an interview with the Associated Press actor Tom Hanks, said he had “no respect” for people who will not wear a mask in public amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Hanks said, “I don’t get it. I simply do not get it. It is literally the least you can do. And if anybody wants to build up an argument about doing the least you can do, I wouldn’t trust them with a driver’s license. I mean when you drive a car you have to obey speed limits, you got to use your turn signals, you have to avoid hitting pedestrians. If you can’t do those three things, then I get it. You shouldn’t be driving a car. If you can’t wear a mask and wash your hands and social distance, I got no respect for you, man. I don’t buy your argument.”

Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for coronavirus in March.
