Tom Hanks praised his daughter E.A. Hanks’ candid new memoir, which detailed her “abusive” childhood with her late mother, Samantha Lewes.
“It’s a pride because, I think, she shares it with me, she’s been very open about what the process is,” Hanks told Access Hollywood at “The Phoenician Scheme” premiere last week.
“I’m not surprised that my daughter had the wherewithal, as well as the curiosity, as well as, I’m going to say, perhaps, the ‘shoot herself in the foot’ kind of wherewithal in order to examine this thing that I think she was incredibly honest about.”
