The actor, 66, and his actress spouse of 35 years were photographed apparently looking irate as Hanks pointed afinger at a man who has been named as Vincent Chapalain while they attended the premiere of his new film Asteroid City yesterday.
Wilson – and Chapalain – have now brushed off speculation they were rowing by saying it was simply a discussion about where they were meant to be going while crowds of fans were screaming so loudly they could barely hear.
Wilson captioned a screenshot of the exchange on an Instagram Story with the message: “This is called ‘I can’t hear you. People are screaming. What did you say? Where are we supposed to go?’

Speculation had been rife Hanks had lost his cool as he was pictured looking stern and pointing at Vincent.
The exchange lasted only moments as the couple walked the red carpet.
It came nearly a month after the long-time pair celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary.
Hanks, who has sons Chet, 32, and Truman, 27, with Wilson, posted a snap of him giving her a cake with the message: “35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything.”
Hanks also has son Colin, 45, and daughter Elizabeth, 41, from his previous marriage to his college sweetheart, Samantha Lewes.
