Tom Hanks tells fans to ‘back the f–k off’ as they nearly knock over Rita Wilson

National treasure Tom Hanks transformed from actor to protector when a group of crazed fans got too close to his wife, Rita Wilson.

The Oscar-winning actor became enraged when the overzealous group nearly knocked over Wilson

who ended up losing her footing and wobbling away, while out in New York City Wednesday night. “Stop it!” Wilson, 65, shouted.

“My wife? Back the f–k off! Knocking over my wife?!” Hanks, also 65

then screamed before the couple hustled into a waiting car.

One fan could then be heard apologizing, saying, “Sorry about that, Tom.”

The “Forrest Gump” star has been on a press tour to promote his upcoming Baz Luhrmann-directed film,

“Elvis,” for a few weeks. Earlier this month, he attended a screening in Brisbane, Australia, alongside the lead actor, Austin Butler.

Wilson and Hanks have been married for 34 years. They met in 1981 on the set of “Bosom Buddies,” a sitcom that ran from 1980 to 1982.
