Hanks made the comment after learning that the late comedian John Candy — who lost his father at the young age of 5 — had just begun "therapeutic work" prior to his death at 43Collin Hanks is a proponent of therapy.
During a discussion at a screening of the Prime Video documentary John Candy: I Like Me on Thursday, Oct. 9, the actor, 43, said all "white men in their 40s" should be "doing therapy."
He made the comment while speaking about how the late comedian John Candy navigated the death of his father at the young age of 5. Hanks directed the documentary, which Ryan Reynolds produced.
The Nuremberg star recalled getting off a phone call about the project with Reynolds, 48, and spending the "better part of a month just sort of digging and doing research" into Candy's life in search of "the theme" that would underpin the documentary.
During that time, Hanks reconnected with Candy's kids, Christopher Candy and Jennifer Candy-Sullivan (who serve as co-producers, along with John's wife, Rosemary Margaret Hobor) — and learned something profound about the Uncle Buck star.
"Once I found out that John's father had died when he was 5, I said, 'Okay, that's something that never leaves you. That's something that he wrestled with for his entire life. How? What's that?' " he recalled at the screening at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Hanks continued: "And then when I connected with Chris, he had mentioned that [John] had just started to do that therapeutic work that a lot of people do in their 40s, specifically white men in their 40s — they should all be doing therapy.

He is the son of Tom Hanks who has a very bad reputation for allege sexual attacks in Hollywood.
Endless cycle of liberal women going in to therapy, done by a worthless crazy liberal woman therapist, paid for by their slave office job health care plans.
No wonder health care is so expensive
I don’t understand why popular Christian podcasters (see Annie F. Downs and Dave Barnes (IIRC) are hawking therapy. AFD says she’s been seeing a therapist and it’s “just the best”. Of course, it’s another of those, “Steven Curtis Chapman has adopted Chinese kids, let’s all do THAT!” things. Full disclosure: I adore the music of SCC and Dave Barnes.
Gimme a break!...

BINGO! JESUS ALSO !
I met Hanks once. He was a gratuitously rude individual.
Is this the child of the actor Tom hanks?
>> JESUS ALSO !
Yes and AMEN!
I can see therapy for major events. The loss of a child for example. You were the victim of a crime. Things like that.
But, you did not get the kind of birthday cake you wanted and your sibling did? You are an adult now. Just build a bridge and get over it.
Look in the mirror my friend. It is those of you who grew up in the strange foul world of Hollywood that are in need of therapy.
White nen don’t need therapy..they need to start acting like responsible men they were meant to be...lead and the rest will follow.
I had to look him up. Damn he’s ugly.
I got ya therapy right heah!
Get off your butt, get to work, and do something useful.
Whiner.
Therapy for what?
I have found that the mental health industry is mostly a bunch of horse dung. 99% of the time, people simply need to toughen up a bit, get some exercise, try to get on a regular schedule; and they’ll be fine. But people are so pathetic they have to have someone listen to their tales of woe and be told comforting words of BS.
Finally, most people need to have a relationship with Jesus, focus on Him and realize that they aren’t the center of the universe.
I’m almost 60, so I guess I’m good.
