The one role Tom Hanks said "no way" will he ever take on | 60 Minutes Australia

Tom Hanks is hardly a sex symbol. He's no Brad Pitt. You never hear about him getting drunk, making a fool of himself, or having love affairs. You never see him at all in the gossip mags. Even he admits he's a bit of a nerd. Yet somehow he's made an extraordinary career out of being ordinary. His movies have made billions. Just the name "Tom Hanks" on a billboard can guarantee success. In fact he's the biggest earner of them all. Add a couple of Oscars, who said nice guys don't come first.

I lost it when I was watching "Saving Private Ryan", and his character explained he was a teacher. So believeable.❤

[@tempus_fugit7366]

For clarity, this interview was 14 years ago! The description isn't clear. I was wondering why Tom looked so young, lol. Tom is a huge Typewriter aficionado. He personally owns dozens of them. He frequently responds to typed fan mail from one of his own typewriters. To illustrate how genuinely nice and real Tom is, I know of fan who recently gifted him a wrist watch manufactured by Remington Rand of typewriter fame. Later, Tom was spotted actually wearing the watch at an event. How wonderful is that!

Toy Story 2 gutted me, especially with the song "When She Loved Me," because I knew that's EXACTLY what I was going to experience with my niece as she got older and grew up. Now she's a mom and raising kids who love Toy Story, too, but there's that magical moment burned in my heart as she excitedly related everything to her mother after we saw it, talking about how Mr. Potato Head took off his eyes to spy over the window. I knew I was going to lose her as a little girl who thought everything we did was magical, but at the same time I would NEVER lose her, because that was a permanent memory no one could take! THAT's what Tom Hanks helped give us and makes him so beloved!

Philadelphia is one of my favourite movies. It is dear to my heart, having lost my paternal uncle to the AIDS virus having fought for 5 years. Sadly my uncle had only come out after 18 years of marriage and children and hiding who he was being from a very catholic family. So for me Tom Hanks made the fight and spotlight on HIV AIDS so very important.

[@philstuf]

Great memories of this coming out and dance floors packed with people doing the Twist and the Rock Lobster -- twisting all the way down to the ground when the B-52s sang the "down, down" part and staying down until the music picked-up again then jumping back up to start twisting again. Also, the song remained a party standard into the 80s. I went to high school parties in 79 and 80 and danced to it, and at college fraternity parties in 84 and beyond. The B-52s really shook us as did a lot of other post-punk & new wave music in 79. But the B-52s are way, way underrated and underappreciated. I wish you could've experienced 1979 in music.

THANK YOU FOR TOM HANKS. He is really a treasure. I wish I could meet and sit down with him to chat about just simple things. This was a great interview. 60 minutes Australia is the best! I found myself in tears at the end of this interview.

The best actor of all time. And an American treasure. ❤

@@cathal4921 Hey, didn't Americans elect a movie star to be president once? Oh yeah, Ronald Reagan. He wasn't a divisive president at all...

[@wannabetowasabe]

I'm a baby boomer and grew up watching Jimmy Stewart. Then after Tom Hanks got to be about 35 I realized that Tom Hanks is the Jimmy Stewart of my generation. Such a wide body of work, humorous, fantasy, drama and everything except blockbuster westerns. I don't see him riding a horse in a shootout. It's just not him, but everything else he seems to be. There are those in the comments below that try to disparage both Hanks and Stewart, but I've loved them both.

[@helenmontgomery5357]

I have been a fan of Tom Hanks forever. He is a great actor, comedian, and seems to be a great person. He picked the perfect wife for him. He and Rita are like peanut butter and jelly, they go together Perfect

[@quietkate]

Mr Hanks never disappoints his mastery of story telling as a thespian on film is top notch, wish there were more folks in that industry like him.

I love all of Tom's movies and have really enjoyed watching him throughout his career. This guy has made some huge classics, but I miss the funny guy from Splash, The Money Pit, Big, etc...

"Do my part to make the world a better place." Yes sir. Thank you.

That was great, it's just how I feel, without having been a celebrity. You do your best and the rest lays where it does.

[@mj3026]

What a brilliant actor, I grew up watching him , so thank you Tom for giving me great childhood memories of watching films that you could go & rent for the weekend & buy a whole load of snacks to go with it, it was fun to do things like this when I was younger, I remember arguing about who’s turn it was to choose the first movie 🍿 ❤

[@lisalambrecht6676]

Wish he would do more movies! ❤

[@philstuf]

Tom Hanks is such an absolute gem of a person. I hope we can continue to ship him as one our best exports from the 'States. (God help us all if he has messed up and something comes out and all of us were bamboozled...).

[@jackwilloughby239]

Just finished reading Tom's latest book which is an education in itself. I think Tom is a prime example of the old fable of the "Tortoise and the Hare": You have to have a pretty thick shell, be slow to anger, have incredible Determination and still the while, be kind to all the people around you who are also working their collective a**es off. The book should be required reading for any one wanting to work in Film.

[@elainekinney6186]

So refreshing to have Tom as a really "decent" human being!

[@donnalamb6391]

I think my favorite part in Castaway was when he was on the raft and he lost Wilson. I didn't know if i should laugh or cry. It was a great scene.

[@benjiebenjamin7810]

Hanks was adorable from the start decades ago ❤.

[@dorothylaplante7243]

Tom Hanks is a true gentleman. His character truly gives meaning to the proverb of "Manners Maketh Man" nuff said.

Ron Howard has his fathers eyes. Amazing to see Rances eyes shining out in his sons face.
