Tom Hanks thinks the Toy Story 5 cast were kept in the dark about Taylor Swift<\/a>‘s soundtrack song because bosses didn’t “trust” them. <\/p>\n

Tom Hanks reveals when he and Toy Story 5 co-stars found out about Taylor Swift’s soundtrack song<\/p>\n

The 69-year-old actor voices Sheriff Woody in the Toy Story franchise, but he was shocked to discover Taylor had recorded a song, I Knew It, I Knew You, for the movie, and he and his co-stars only found out on the day of tune’s release. <\/p>\n

Speaking to E! News about Taylor’s Toy Story tune, he said: “We did not know. We were told the day it came out as a matter of fact. <\/p>\n

“They said, ‘Tonight at nine o’clock Taylor Swift<\/a> is going to be dropping the song that ends our movie. <\/p>\n

“I said, ‘I’ve seen the movie. There was no Taylor Swift<\/a> song.’ They said, ‘We know.’ It was all this diabolical … they don’t trust us, and there is a brain trust that goes along that I am not a part of. So, I just do what I’m told.”<\/p>\n

\nHanks reprised his role as Woody for the latest film – which also features Joan Cusack, Greta Lee, Conan O’Brien, Alan Cumming, and Bad Bunny – alongside Tim Allen, who voices Buzz Lightyear.<\/p>\n

\nAnd Tom has told how the pair knew they had a “great responsibility” when they were filming Toy Story 2. <\/p>\n

\nTom added: “We realised somewhere in the second movie, which we call ‘the next Toy Story’, that we were in the presence of a great responsibility. <\/p>\n

\n“And we started getting together to talk about that, along with everything else that goes along with our lives.”<\/p>\n

\nDespite voicing the two main characters for five Toy Story films, Hanks and Allen rarely see each other on set. <\/p>\n

\nTom said: “We don’t get to work together. We only see each other if one is coming out of a recording session and the other one’s going in. <\/p>\n

\n“But everything that’s going along with it, the interstitials, we have had many, many, many experiences individually, and a couple of times together, when people, little kids particularly, put together that these guys are actually these characters. <\/p>\n

\n“And it’s literally a physiological change that we go through. <\/p>\n

\n“Neither one of us takes that lightly. It’s a big responsibility.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
