Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep Play Each Other's Iconic Characters

From Forrest Gump to Julia Child, Hollywood icons Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep attempt to embody each other's most memorable characters.

[@royalgecko5683]

Fun Fact: Meryl Streep was nominated for an Oscar for doing this

[@billiejean9947]

😭🤣

[@GardenMinistry.]

Lol!!

[@Fl0k5ser]

She was also nominated for walking to the Ellen studio, sitting in that couch, wearing a glasses, and most importantly, when she breathes she got nominated for an Oscar XD

[@isaganiprado4874]

Meryl and Tom, probably the two BEST modern day actors. They are both so versatile. Love them!

[@golammostafaamit3946]

Calling meryl streep the best modern day actor is an insult to her. She's undoubtedly the greatest actor across all ages.

[@lisadiconti]

Yes, they are both so versatile.

[@nadezdadedic-robinson673]

Don't forget Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman.

How come real actors are soooo simple while those who are wannabes have to stand out? I'm referring to everything, from the way they dress to the way they act and talk... Love them ❤ thank you for entertaining us!

[@jena.alexia]

They've been doing it a long time and they've proved themselves time and again. They made it in the days before the internet, social media and the 'look at me'; I'm releasing a clothing line/make-up range/perfume/eyeshadow palette era. They have nothing more to prove. We know they're great. They've been venerated by the critics, their peers and fans alike. They are the real deal. The second golden era of Hollywood.

Thought You meant Ellen and Andy

[@marlenejones6266]

My fave is his character in Castaway. To play a part alone on a beach with nobody else to interact with and keep the audience captivated is just something only Tom Hanks could do. I will watch again this movie of my favorite actor of all time.

[@borntoteachw4028]

I completely agree. His work in Castaway - is transcendent. The versatility of this actor knows no range. I loveloveLOOOOVE this movie !

[@zorodpiece8693]

I laughed so hard when Streep read Woody's line. Tom Hanks sure was a good sport here.

[@Mr.Tin_88]

Meryl is simply the best actress of all times. Period. This was a true Acting Masterclass.

[@abhishektanwar8576]

She is not. There are other better actresses like Glen Close.

[@dvdert6]

Every time i see Meryl, i always saw the iconic MIRANDA

[@trvn13]

Tom Hanks’ voice makes me feel so safe for some reason.

[@thomaskemp904]

Say that to the kids

[@tanyah.1054]

Agreed, he reminds me of my dad. I don’t know if he actually resembles my dad or if he just feels like a dad to me.

[@memyselfandi9684]

​@@thomaskemp904yep! Tom has a thing for children so the stories go

[@shuvospeaking3250]

"That's all." Miranda character is like the female Marlon Brando in The Godfather. Relaxed, authoritative, kinda scary.

[@РамінаДолгінцева]

Soooo true

[@pendragonU]

It is that quiet true carnivore killer power, like Leon walking into a whole Police Main station to rescue Mathilda. They are cocky cops overconfident, he's just smoothly unassuming even, quiet about or short with words, but terminally authoritative. Do not even try to cross or come too close.

[@elliegood82]

You've Got Mail? Anyone? No? Okay. Good movie though. My all time favorite.

[@lovelylife979]

Fav one.. Well m still waiting for the right mail 😃

[@The1966chevyvan]

They are sick period.

[@marlenejones6266]

Tom is very talented too? Very talented too? I'm sorry but that is the understatement of the century. He is the best. He can imitate anyone. He can act in a movie all alone...castaway.... and still hold your attention. He is funny, he is the actor of all time in my opinion. I adore this man..from the movie BIG to News of the World I have enjoyed his abilities and his voice.

[@Asiacbrown80]

Both these actors soo good and have done so much where they touch different people and generations. I find it interesting that when asked, different generations or people will have different movies that they like done by these two from different eras. For instance my mother's favorite movie for Meryl Streep is Kramar vs Krammar or Cry in the Dark or The Money Pit. For me it may be Death Becomes Her, She-Devil or Turner and Hutch and my younger cousin is the Devil wears Prada and Cast Away. Both actors have more great parts but it is interesting how both actor touch different people, generations and for different reasons and parts.

[@kafkaesk_]

My favorite is "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events"☺️💖

[@josefinagarza241]

I love him in Big,her in Prada.
