zz5f752aaf

Tom Hanks appeared on the BBC’s Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, and talked about the many things that fans say to him on the street. Somehow this conversation leads to him performing the rap from Big. (thanks to /film reader david s for the tip)

  • First.

    Did I say it already, I love Tom Hanks. I stood beside the great piano in FAO Schwarz in January. What a great childrens movie. Still love it.
  • Jordan
    Tom Hanks is all sorts of awesome.
  • genius. what a nice guy.
  • Tom Hanks is the definition of the most experienced and talented male American actor.

    Vulcan salute to him.
  • WILSON!!!
  • Daniel
    A mark of a good actor is when you simply forget who they are in real life and start to believe that their character is real and an entirely separate entirely from who is playing them. When I watch Forrest Gump, I simply don't see Tom Hanks in that movie at all. It IS Forrest, not Tom. The same almost goes for his role in Catch Me If You Can. It's very difficult to really connect the actor with the role.

    That said, I'd really like to see Tom in more comedic roles. He's got natural talent for comedy, it's a shame to see him sort of neglect that area for a while now.
  • Tom Hanks can do it all. He's also a ton of fun to watch in interviews cause he doesn't let his on screen talents get to his head.

    The space goes down, down, baby, down, down the roller coasters
    sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don't let me go
    Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop, shimmy shimmy rock
    Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop, shimmy shimmy rock
    I met a girlfriend, a triscuit
    She sad a triscuit, a biscuit
    Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top
    Ooh, Shellita, walkin' down the street
    Ten Times a week
    I read it, I said it,
    I stole my momma's credit,
    I'm cool, I'm hot
    Sock me in the stomach three more times
  • just when you think tom hanks can't get any cooler!!!

    You know after seeing this it reminds me just how much I do like Tom Hanks. He does a lot of good movies and just seems like an all around great guy. He just sold me and I'm going to see Angels & Demons I think.
  • mwilb
    what a badass.
  • I first figured he was a down to earth guy when he was doing YOUTUBE videos about hybrid cars, and these weren't highly produced videos either just handycam stuff, and I thought what a fun guy. He didn't come off as bad as most people on Youtube do. Great video here though I can't believe he still remembered that AND the moves.

    I have loved Tom ever since Bosom Buddies. He has grown into such a wonderful actor and movie star. We don't have real movie stars like we used to; you know, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, James Stewart.

    Thank you David for finding this YouTube video. Like Daniel said, you don't see Tom the actor in movies, he becomes the person through and through.
  • Tom Hanks= National Treasure.
  • Ha ha brilliant. Tom Hanks is one cool cat.
  • He needs to do more standard fair comedies again, seriously! Could you imagine if he teamed up with Apatow?
  • That was pretty great. I want to love Tom Hanks, but he has been such a jerk for the past half decade. This brings back good memories.

    Josh and Billy: The space goes down, down baby, down, down the roller coaster. Sweet, sweet baby, sweet, sweet, don't let me go. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. Shimmy, shimmy, cocoa pop. Shimmy, shimmy, rock. I met a girlfriend - a triscuit. She said, a triscuit - a biscuit. Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top. Ooh, Shelly's out, walking down the street, ten times a week. I read it. I said it. I stole my momma's credit. I'm cool. I'm hot. Sock me in the stomach three more times.
