Tom Hanks' wife breaks silence after 'angry exchange' on the red carpet

Rita Wilson has explained what actually happened after her and Tom Hanks were pictured having a seemingly heated exchange with a member of staff at the Cannes Film Festival.

The couple attended the premiere for their new film Asteroid City on Tuesday, but didn't look happy as they spoke to the festival worker.

Tom seemed frustrated as he pointed as finger, while Rota held her hands up while speaking to the man on the red carpet.

However, she has now taken to Instagram to set the record straight and insisted they had a "great time" at the glitzy event.

Sharing a picture of the exchange, Rita wrote: "This is called I can't hear you. People are screaming. What did you say? Where are we supposed to go?

"But that doesn't sell stories!"

She added: "We had a great time! Go and see Asteroid City!"

After finally figuring out where they were supposed to go, Tom and Rita were all smiles as they posed for the cameras.

Tom looked dapper wearing a black tuxedo and matching bow tie, completing his look with a crisp white shirt.

Rita looked especially glamorous wearing a black dress adorned with silver jewels which sparkled in the lights.

She also opted for a long black cloak which trailed behind her and accessorised her look with some simple silver earrings.

Rita also decided on a glamorous makeup look, complete with a nude lipstick, and pulled her hair back into an elegant up-do.

The couple both star in the upcoming film Asteroid City, which is directed by Wes Anderson.

The film is set in a fictional desert town and tells the story of stargazing in the desert.

At the centre of the story is widower Augie Steenbeck, played by long-time Wes Anderson collaborator Jason Schwartzman.

The cast also includes performances from stars such as Tilda Swinton, Scarlett Johansson and Maya Hawke.
