Henry Winkler was too cool for the original Scream poster

Henry Winkler, the beloved star of "Happy Days" and a fixture in Hollywood for decades, has revealed a surprising side of his personality. In a recent interview on the podcast In Depth With Graham Bensinger, the 80-year-old actor opened up about his long-standing grudge with Tom Hanks and his feelings towards the producers of the iconic horror film "Scream."

Winkler, known for his iconic role as the lovable "Fonz," expressed his frustration after being barred from appearing on the poster for "Scream." The studio, citing his association with the show's mischievous character, claimed that featuring Winkler's face on the poster would "knock the balance of horror off." This decision left the veteran actor feeling "bewildered," "upset," and "insulted."

Despite his resentment, Winkler still agreed to promote the film due to his loyalty to the people he had worked with, including his co-stars who appeared on the marketing materials. The incident serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and sometimes contentious relationships that exist behind the scenes of Hollywood productions.

Interestingly, Winkler did admit to having a more amicable relationship with the film's director, Wes Craven, and sushi was apparently a regular treat for the two. However, the marketing department's decision to exclude him from the poster remains a source of bitterness for the 80-year-old actor.
