I’ve always thought he had pig eyes. Not that many women would care.
Hanks started out as a comedian and many comics become jokesters because they aren’t physically attractive so they have to find another way to meet girls.
I do wonder sometimes if Hanks would be a liberal Democrat if it weren’t for Hollywood. He’s pro-military, pro-U.S.and apparently faithful to his wife. Those are not typical liberal Democrat positions but I think Hanks knows je jas to be liberal to work in Hollywood (see Gibson, Mel) so like any good actor he plays the role of the liberal to keep the leftist loonies off his back and insure he can continue to make movies.
Hanks did some good stuff............then he threw it all away with that Di Vinci code BS. Sad.
His acting trajectory is very unusual. Hanks started off doing slapstick comedies and fluff 80s romantic comedies. I’m not sure when he suddenly became a De Niro-type actor.
It’s rare to see a successful person who doesn’t practice conservative values in conducting his family life and business affairs. Alas, it’s also the case that successful people who stray from those values are as likely to be conservatives as they are liberals.
Also — I think that there’s really only correlation and not causation between reported pre-marital virginity and marital happiness. A marriage between two virgins these days is going to be between two people who are very strong outliers in their religious fidelity, and that, more than their sexual history, is going to shape the experience of their marriage. I’d bet you’d find no distinction in reported happiness of two such religious people when one, or both, was widowed or divorced, and hence not a virgin, despite having scrupulously honored religious dictates on sexual purity.
