Tom Hanks F-Bombbustedcoverage

Coming up next, I'm sitting down with Tom Hanks to talk about his riveting new movie Cloud Atlas! Stay tuned @gma ! #cloudatlasElizabeth Vargas

Actor Tom Hanks got a little too into his role for an upcoming movie during an interview with Elizabeth Vargas on Good Morning America.

Vargas asked Hanks about the accent he uses for one of the characters he plays in the movie Cloud Atlas. Hanks responded by talking in character and then accidentally uttered an obscenity, or as just about everyone on the internet says, "dropped an F-bomb".

Hanks quickly apologized on air, as did Vargas. Then he took to Twitter to reiterate his apology.

For GMA, spesh kowtow for Lizzie V for WHAT DID I JUST SAY??? Oops! In character! Sorry! HanxTom Hanks

Some of his fans responded to his Tweet and they didn't seem to mind.

Actress Denise Richards also weighed in.

Meanwhile, Gawker obtained a statement from ABC which reads, "This morning Tom Hanks accidently [sic] used an expletive during a live interview on 'GMA' with Elizabeth Vargas. They both immediately apologized on air, and the show was corrected for the all subsequent feeds."

Over on Reddit, the video was posted multiple times, and Redditors weighed in.

I am looking forward to the day when nobody even bats an eye when a curse word is uttered in the media. It probably won't happen in my lifetime, but, someday.jeebus_krist

This already exists. It's called 'not America'.Gsicht

This is why I love Tom Hanks and the best part was that he really didn't seem concerned.murthis

On Twitter, many responded with jokes and sarcasm. Others commented that it was only because Hanks was beloved that he was able to escape serious criticism for his language.
