Tom Hanks surprises Caleb Landry Jones at the premiere of Finch held at The Pacific Design Center on Tuesday night (November 2) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The actors are just two of the film’s five stars and both hit the red carpet alongside celeb supporters which included Leslie Jones, Katie Cassidy, Kim Raver, Michael Nouri, Matt Bennett, Mark Feuerstein, Ian Harding, and Matthew Lillard.

Other attendees included Gustavo Gomez, Cassady McClincy, Naia Cucukov, and Christina Caradona.

Caleb plays the robot Jeff in the movie and was on set filming next to Tom the entire shoot.

“It was all recorded on set at the time. We did some re-recording later on, but essentially, it was Caleb in a suit in nine-inch stilts, gloves on his hands that looked like those wooden hands that you see Jeff have, and a mask that looked like Jeff, so it gave Tom a real character to play off,” director Miguel Sapochnik shared with DigitalSpy.

He added, “I think that the character itself, all of the nuances, all of the little quirks that Jeff has, all of that is all Caleb. Caleb just elevated the character, so I can’t really imagine what Jeff would have been without Caleb.”
