Tom Hanks extends a chivalrous hand to wife Rita Wilson outside Inferno screening in Italy... after opening up about her breast cancer plight
He recently gave a self-deprecating account of how he helped his wife battle cancer.
But it was clear to see that Tom Hanks was more supportive than he lets on on Wednesday night, as he extended a chivalrous hand to his wife on a movie night.
Tom, 60, and his glamorous other half Rita Wilson were special guests at a movie screening for his new film Inferno in Florence, Italy.

As always, the actor made his wife his priority and helped her out of a taxi outside the venue.
He looked sharp in spectacles, still managing to garner plenty of attention in a dark alley, dressed top-to-toe in a black palette.
Rita was perfectly coiffed and well turned out in a sparkly get up with a clutch bag carried in her free hand.

Rita has now successfully recovered from a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction, following her cancer diagnosis in December 2014.
It was a subject that came up as Tom promoted his new film Inferno recently, during a chat with The Daily Mail's Gabrielle Donnelly.
'It isn't brave to be the husband of somebody who's battling cancer,' he told her. 'The brave one is the one who's actually doing it!'

He went on to say: 'I would say that there's a moment where there's only one thing to do and that's to reprioritise everything and do the right thing, and I think I did that.'
He adds: 'But my task wasn't so great — it was just to be attentive and supportive, and if you can't do that, well, then you're a coward.
The world-famous actor concluded: 'All I can do is to bow down before the courage of my wife.'

Tom returns to play academic Professor Robert Langdon on screen — the hero of author Dan Brown's best-selling novels The Da Vinci Code and Angels And Demons — for a third time in Inferno, this year.
In this one, the cool Langdon is on a bullet-dodging race against time across Europe to prevent 'an extinction-level event'.
Langdon is a Harvard university lecturer in religious iconology and symbology, who uses his history knowledge to tackle assassins, solve crimes and save mankind, if not the planet.
Inferno will be in cinemas from October 14.

When it comes to offering love, strength and practical support in times of personal crisis, Hanks is in the front line — as his wife, Rita Wilson, found when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2014. Pictured, the couple at a New York event earlier this month
