Hollywood is facing yet another shockwave as acclaimed actor Gary Sinise has officially walked away from Tom Hanks’ highly anticipated $500 million project. The Forrest Gump star, known for his patriotism and outspoken views, made it clear that his departure was driven by ideological differences, declaring, “I won’t work with woke people.”

Sinise, an advocate for veterans and first responders, has long distanced himself from Hollywood’s increasingly progressive agenda. Insiders claim that tensions between him and Hanks’ production team had been brewing for months, with Sinise growing increasingly frustrated over the film’s direction and underlying messaging.
While details of the project remain largely under wraps, sources suggest that it was intended to push certain social and political narratives—something Sinise reportedly found intolerable. His decision to leave has sparked heated debates, with some praising him for standing by his beliefs while others accuse him of alienating himself from modern Hollywood.

Tom Hanks, a vocal advocate for progressive causes, has yet to publicly address Sinise’s exit. However, Hollywood insiders speculate that this move could deepen existing divisions in the entertainment industry, as more actors begin to speak out against what they perceive as a forced ideological shift.
With Sinise’s departure, questions arise: Will this bold stance cost him future roles in the industry? Or will it embolden other actors to push back against Hollywood’s “woke” culture?
