Tom Hanks doesn't like watching his movies due to 'self doubt': 'I realized I didn't go far enough'

Tom Hanks recently revealed that he gets consumed by "self doubt" when it comes to watching his movies as an audience.

On Tuesday, January 4, Tom Hanks appeared on The Great Creators with Guy Raz podcast where he admitted that he has experienced "self-doubt that is pure neurosis" in his career, despite generally considering himself "not a neurotic guy."

The Academy winning actor opened up, "I wrestle with authenticity. I wrestle with the difference between lying for a living as an actor and lying to myself as a human being," cited from People.

Hanks went on to reveal in the podcast that he doesn't watch his movies, including the "big hits" because he sees "the falsehood in them. I see the loss. I see that one time, 'Oh, man, I missed that opportunity.'"

"And it's not because, at the moment, I chose not to — it's because, after it was done, I realized I didn't go far enough. I didn't go to the place that I could have gone, the Cast Away actor continued.

Tom Hanks stars in A Man Called Otto, releasing everywhere on January 13.
