Tom Hanks' 'Wasted' Fan Photos Go Viral

Tom Hanks Photos taken by a fan who pretended to be wasted when he met Tom Hanks, 56, have gone viral . Hanks apparently played along with the prank, smiling and pointing his finger at the fan. Though it's unclear where the photos were taken, Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, have been on vacation in this Midwest city.

Tom Hanks was already known for being a great guy. But his reputation as one of the nicest movie stars around has kicked into overdrive after a friend of a guy who had an incredibly close encounter with the actor posted evidence of their interaction on the photo sharing site Imgur.

Random dude, meet the greatest guy to pretend to be drunk with: two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks.

“My friend met Tom Hanks, stole his glasses and pretended to be wasted,” groucho22 wrote on Reddit, thereby prompting a whole thread of fond Hanx (as the actor calls himself on Twitter) memories.

Not to mention, the Imgur photos—one of the lucky fan pretending to be passed out on Hanks’ shoulder, the aforementioned glasses perched askew on his face, and others of a mock-troubled and then a laughing Hanks gesturing at his passed-out new pal—have been viewed more than 1.4 million times in roughly 24 hours.

There’s no mention of where the pictures were taken, but Hanks’ latest tweet, dated Aug. 22, reads, “Back from Vacation. Missed the Olympics but know of US Women’s soccer Gold!! In Fargo ND? The TNT Diner makes killer breakfast. Hanx.”

So, maybe North Dakota? Or was it a local boy who turned what could have been a routine L.A. celeb sighting into something special?

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013

Kardashian LaChapelle Christmas card 2013, Kardashians leave no stones unturned in making their annual Christmas card as larger than life as possible, but for this Christmas, they might have gone a tad overboard as it cost $250,000 for their latest move of self-glorification; obviously the Kardashian Klan didn’t shell out a penny for it. You can see big hair and high fashion but the card shows no Lamar, Scott, Kanye or Rob. Kim Kardashian was more than excited to see the concept of the new card, as she mentioned trying new things was something that excited her the most. Before the shoot, the entire family was seen sitting around in their robes and jammies, discussing the previous Christmas holidays, presents and much, sipping their favorite champagne throughout the time. The Drama The off-beat or rather intricate Christmas card shows us the five sisters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner along with their parents Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner. They are seen in...
