Tom Hanks, who recovered from Covid-19 earlier this year, has said he "has no respect" for people who decline to wear a mask in public during the pandemic.
The actor and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for coronavirus while filming in Australia in March.
Many governments now recommend face coverings, but they are not mandatory in most places.
Hanks said: "I don't get it, I simply do not get it, it is literally the least you can do."
The actor was speaking to the Associated Press about face coverings while promoting his latest film.
"If anybody wants to build up an argument about doing the least they can do, I wouldn't trust them with a driver's licence," he said.
"I mean, when you drive a car, you've got to obey speed limits, you've got to use your turn signals [indicators], you've got to avoid hitting pedestrians. If you can't do those three things, you shouldn't be driving a car.
"If you can't wear a mask and wash your hands and social distance, I've got no respect for you, man. I don't buy your argument."

I wasn’t
Tom Hanks is ashamed of me. I’ve really let him down.
Gosh, some dimwit actor thinks he understands microbiology.
I guess that almost makes us even as I have zero respect for him as well
Lets see you Act in a mask

Never could stand this guy. He is a joke.
My Dr. doesn’t wear one.
I have no respect for Tom Hanks whether he’s wearing a mask or not.
Here’s an interesting conundrum. I wash my hands because I’m not a dirtball. I wear a mask because, why not? And I social distance, simply because I don’t like people. So I do all the right things. That being said, I have no respect for Tom Hanks. Never have, never will. On a separate note, I live in Florida, what is this “Turn Signal” thing he speaks of?
I don’t remember ever asking Tom Hanks, or any other liberal Hollywood elitist for their respect.
How much respect does it have for people wearing masks?
I’m getting more than a little weary of these mask Nazis.
When you hang out with the pathogen-laden Hollyweird crowd, you’re bound to come down with all sorts of crap.
“I wouldn’t trust them with a driver’s licence,” he said.
Funny how dumb people are unable to pretend to be normal.
Freedom. The ability to chose one’s favorite option among many options. To wear or mask or not. That is the question. I chose, Not!
Both he and his wife were treated with hydroxychloroquine, but they don’t think the peasants should have that same option.

Finally a celeb I can identify. Yeah, I ended my streak. I saw one of his movies, Private Ryan. I guess he is still active.
