Ron Howard Shares Hilarious Story of Tom Hanks Changing Pants in Front of the Mona Lisa

The director recalled a behind-the-scenes moment during the filming of 'The Da Vinci Code' when a time crunch led to the unexpected wardrobe change at the Louvre.

Ron Howard revealed that Tom Hanks had to change his pants in front of the Mona Lisa while filming 'The Da Vinci Code' due to tight scheduling on set.
The incident occurred in the Mona Lisa room at the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the cast and crew were working under significant time pressure.
Howard humorously reflected on the moment, noting it as one of the unusual scenarios he and Hanks have encountered during their collaborations on five films.
The anecdote was shared during a 'Happy Days' reunion panel at MegaCon in Orlando, where Howard also discussed his directing career and creative process.
The 2006 film, based on Dan Brown's bestseller, became a global success, grossing $760 million worldwide and spawning two sequels.
