The Oscar-winning actor has been tight-lipped about the luxurious French Polynesian yacht cruise he went on with TV host Winfrey, rock legend Bruce Springsteen and the former U.S. President and First Lady, earlier this month (Apr17).
But during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Friday (28Apr17), Hanks divulged that the trip was better than most people could ever imagine.
"That made the news, it was really interesting. Both Oprah and I were really p***ed off," the 60-year-old joked. "Look, imagine what it could've been like it, triple it. It was off the scale, fantastic."
Winfrey previously also said she "couldn't talk about" the incredible trip off the coast of Tahiti and Bora Bora on board the £231 million yacht The Rising Sun, and told People.com, "What happens on the boat, stays on the boat."
However, Hanks opened up about the once-in-a-lifetime vacation, and said the group was joined by the U.S. Secret Service, who are assigned to protect Obama, even after his tenure as U.S. leader had concluded.
Hanks proceeded to share that he even went bike riding with the former Commander-in-chief, but was stuck with a girl's bicycle.
"It was rusted like all over, it only had one gear... All the others were like mountain bikes. It was so bad," he laughed.
When asked by host Colbert what kind of topics the famous group talked about on their trip, Hanks recalled trying to get the former President to divulge classified information to him and Springsteen.
But Obama wouldn't budge, apparently telling the pair: "I'd like to share a tonne of stories from it, but they're classified."
No barf alert?...
There’s three of them built-in to the title. See them?
I’m like so envious.......
What a bunch of Animals, and not the kind that were on the ARK
Pitching or catching?
Never mind.
[[Both Oprah and I were really p***ed off,]]
Yup- that’s my idea of a great vacation- go somewhere where I’ll be totally pissed of the whole time- sounds relaxing and oh so enjoyable- not!
Elvis died during my last vacation.
my mind is on permanent vacation
A £231-million yacht would probably feature a helipad, three kitchens, a swimming pool, a gym - but not a bike room?
Regards,

...
I’m surprised Obama didn’t pull rank and take the girl’s bicycle.
I would guess that Tom knows exactly why his movie failed last weekend.
Being a has been Hollywood political hack will kill your appeal.
Oh, the white boy gets the hoopty.
Oh, the white boy gets the hoopty.
The story line should have read a Coven of Lunatics go for an expensive boat ride. Taking freeloading 0bama’s as well.
The white folk invited Oprah and Michelle along to work in the galley fixin’ lunch, and settin’ the table. Buckwheat was coiling the deck lines, chewing his tongue and humming “Old Man River”...
