Anderson, 50, who recently finished playing Margo Channing in the West End adaptation of All About Eve, told host James Corden that one of her fears was singing.

“I don’t sing,” Anderson said. “PJ Harvey wrote a song for me to sing that I had to sing every night, accompanied by a piano, and so I had to sing but I don’t sing.”

When Corden asked how she overcame that fear, Anderson said she had a job to do and she would do it as long as her bosses “didn’t mind if she was singing it bad.”

As for Hanks, 62, he said his worst fear was accompanying his wife Rita Wilson on the guitar, calling himself a “horrible guitar player.”

Despite his self-deprecation, Hanks surprised the audience by bringing out a guitar and playing one of The Beatles’ most memorable songs, which was met with cheers and applause.

Toy Story 4 is in theaters this Friday.

Meanwhile, Hanks and Wilson, 62, recently announced on Twitter that they’d be joining the Meat Free Monday movement.
