c'mon y'all, Is it too much to ask for you to respect other humans personal space?!? Did we not learn anything from Princess Diana? Being mobbed by crowds of people is distressing to anyone. Kudos to all celebs for putting up with this insanity. https://t.co/S6W2LsLua5

Guy with blue shirt and hat pushed in between blue tee boy and man with hat and sunnies who then bumped into @RitaWilson @tomhanks actions are justified given the fact he didn¡¯t know what exactly happened and these situations can be stressful and frightening. #TomHanks https://t.co/Ig8mqNPRtX
