Here’s All You Need To Know About The Iconic Actor Who Hates Tom Hanks
Tom Hanks is one of those rare Hollywood stars who appears impossible to dislike. It helps, too, that the Oscar winner’s four-decade career has remained completely free of any major scandals, controversy or negative publicity. However, it turns out that there’s at least one of his former co-stars who isn’t a fan. And his side of the story is definitely showing the beloved Tom Hanks in a new light.
Golden Reputation
That’s despite the reputation for kindness that Hanks has built up – and this itself has been cemented by the various good deeds he’s carried out over the years. On one occasion, for example, he met an autistic fan who had collected press cuttings and images of the actor in a scrapbook. And Hanks appeared authentically bowled over by Sarah Moretti’s efforts when the pair bonded backstage at a Broadway theater.
Critic's Hero
Two years previously, Hanks had also offered two disgruntled fans $25 after hearing how much they disliked one of his films. The star got talking about Larry Crowne to a couple at a gas station, as they believed that the 2011 comedy-drama “wasn’t that good.” And instead of getting offended, Hanks supposedly responded, “Gee, I’m sorry you were disappointed. How about letting me refund your ticket money?”
Honorary Girl Scout
Hanks further proved his character in 2015 by helping a bunch of Girl Scouts to sell cookies. Yes, when the actor spotted the girls trying to earn some extra money in Los Altos, he didn’t just pass them by. Instead, Hanks bought two crates of cookies himself, offered a $20 tip and took the time to join the group on their fundraising efforts.
Wedding Crasher
And then there’s the moment when Hanks made one happy couple’s wedding day just that little bit more special. When happening across the bride and groom during a run in New York’s Central Park in 2016, the star agreed to stop for pictures. He also had no qualms about talking to guests before continuing with his exercise.
