The TOM HANKS appreciation society

Okay. It's Saturday night I've had a few gins but can I just say? There aren't many celebrities I like. Actually there aren't many people I like. Because I'm an arsehole and everyone hates me.

But.

I fucking absolutely love Hanx. A child in an adult's body (big). A toy cowboy. A suburban husband. A pilot. A ship captain. A prison governor. A gangster. A police detective. A bookshop owner. A war hero. He could practically play a fucking woman and we'd all believe him. He's just fucking amazing.

And to top it off. He seems like such a nice person too. He crashed a wedding in Central Park whilst out jogging and posed for pictures. He stops outside restaurants and takes selfies even though he's probably pissed off and fucking starving. He collects typewriters. Someone on a lads night out somewhere in America got absolutely steamboated and woke up to a photo of himself asleep at a table with Tom fucking Hanks propping him up with his arm around him, pointing at him laughing.

Come on. There ain't many legends left. Let's hear it for the genuinely nicest guy in Hollywood.

Except for maybe Keanu. But one thing at a time 💪

I’ll make up my mind on him once we’ve seen the Epstein flight logs.

CornishGem1975 · 25/11/2023 19:20

I've met him, he was very nice but I think there's more underneath the surface that we don't know about, so I'm highly suspicious.

Teatrayderby · 25/11/2023 19:21

If he'd crashed my wedding I'd have been annoyed. How entitled!

Cakencookieobsessed · 25/11/2023 19:21

Cringe.

StateFlowerOfVirginia · 25/11/2023 19:22

Yeah. I know what you guys are referring to. Probably a little pathetic and childish of me but I really, really don't believe it. Fuck that. Not Tom 🚫

Yeah probably but fuck it I don't usually really take an interest in celebrities so it's literally just a drop in the ocean 😃

Can I please ask you to elaborate? Did you meet him professionally or just in a shop or something? What happened?

Charlie Wilson's war is one of my all time favourites. For that alone he is awesome .. how on earth did he get a left winger like me to LOVE a Texan republican ??

Well, the couple weren't, in fact the absolute opposite. I think he probably read the situation, but you do you 😁

When I worked for a social media company my main job was deleting comments from people certain he was a peado. It was a v v v busy job and I was glad when I moved to a different account.

Smugandproud · 25/11/2023 19:29

I too love Tom Hanks and he has the best voice.
If anything bad ever comes to light about him I’ll be very upset.

isthismylifenow · 25/11/2023 19:36

No one else can say Wilson quite like he...

Vitriolinsanity · 25/11/2023 19:41

Whatever he's like as a person, he's the backbone of most of my favourite films.

I've watched Apollo 13 more times than I can count.

And he will always be Woody.
