For Millennials. By Millennials.
Is there a new celebrity feud in the making? Because the ‘Toxic Avenger’ director Lloyd Kaufman just flung a shady tweet at Tom Hanks. The 74-year-old actor-director, who gained specific attention for backing James Gun after his firing, has targeted the Forest Gump star on Twitter. And it appears that the situation may soon escalate into a social-media disaster. On March 12, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson became the first Hollywood celebrities to test positive for COVID-19. The couple spent weeks in isolation in a hospital in Queensland Australia. Although they have recovered from the deadly virus, Hanks and Wilson continue to attract media attention.

While Kaufman meant well, the paradox in is tweet was fairly discernible. His fans were also quick to notice the shade, they quickly retweeted the message anticipating a reply.
Kaufman dragged Tom Hanks into his statement about a post-pandemic world. He pointed out that teaching and nursing were underpaid professions, while celebrities turned in huge sums.
