Henry Winkler is "still working on his perspective" about his relationship with Tom Hanks.
Winkler, 80, gained notoriety for playing Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on Happy Days, and first crossed paths with Hanks when the now-70-year-old actor landed a guest star role in a 1982 episode of the sitcom.
Hanks went on to star in movies and the pair briefly reunited in 1989 when Winkler signed on to direct Turner & Hooch, only to leave the project soon after due to on-set disagreements.
In September 2026, Winkler talked about his experience working on the movie and his ongoing tension with Hanks on In Depth With Graham Bensinger.
He explained that he worked with Hanks "before he was a movie star," but hinted that he wasn't sure what went wrong with their relationship, as years later, the actor did not seem interested in reuniting.
