Some Friday fun for you: Actor Tom Hanks, promoting his new film Cloud Atlas, appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and accidentally dropped the F-bomb live.

The actor was quick to realize what he had done after imitating his Cloud Atlas accident and using a line not suitable for morning television, but it was too late for any sort of censorship. Interviewer Elizabeth Vargas quickly apologized on behalf of Hanks who went into some jokes about the incident.

“I slipped into a brand of acting. I had never done that before. I want to apologize to the kids in America who are watching this right now. And let me say, next time I’m on the show there will be a seven second delay.”

“Never give me a handheld mic,” he continued to applause from the crew. “That’s all I can – I blame the staff, I blame the staff – man oh man.”

We think it couldn’t have been handled better by Vargas and Hanks.

Cloud Atlas makes its limited release Friday, October 26. Hypable offered a review of the film after it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. “Cloud Atlas isn’t for everyone and will surely cause debate upon its release,” we wrote. “Some will be frustrated by its pace and length and others like myself will see beauty in the madness. Regardless of where you stand on the film, the fact that real filmmaking is being attempted instead of playing it safe with sequels and reboots is always a good thing. Or in the case of Cloud Atlas, a great thing.”
