Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his wife, Mareva, met Saturday with two famous recent Greek citizens.

Mitsotakis published in his Instagram account the above photo, with Hollywood actors Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson showing their newly-minted Greek passports. “@ritawilson and @tomhanks are now proud Greek citizens,” Mitsotakis wrote..

The meeting took place on the island of Paros. Wilson, who is partly of Greek descent, and Hanks have long owned a house on the nearby island of Antiparos.

So Hanks & Wilson have found their little bolt-hole to hide out from the BLM/Antifa Zombie apocolypse?

“ No indication he gave up US citizenship. Probably dual citizen dual passports.”

A US citizen can only hold dual citizenship if he was born in another country of US citizen parents. If Hanks was born In the US by US citizen parents, he would have to renounce US citizenship before obtaining Greek citizenship.

Thanks for the link - interesting video so far about 50% thru it.

That said, his blasphemous comment that Jesus Christ “the Swiss white guy” never existed was quite disturbing & even more offensive.

btw, I’m a fellow Ohioian with similar education as you including MBA (’87) with national honors.

I was an early follower of “Q” but rejected it when he/they stated 2018 midterms would be safe...but massive fraud occurred.

Perhaps he and his wife can survive Covid on Paros rather than Australia

A US citizen can be a citizen of other countries as well as the US.Some countries don’t allow that,others do.I’m entitled to Irish citizenship but I haven’t put in the paperwork.But I might do so because I’d love to live in Italy.

Here (I think) are the facts:

  1. Hanks is a big leftie (surprise!), but is not in-your-face obnoxious about it like Baldwin, DeNiro, and similar losers.
  2. He converted to Greek Orthodoxy to marry his wife, and apparently regularly attends church (a leftie, but at least a practicing Christian, not a Scientologist like that other actor named "Tom")
  3. His wife is Greek and Bulgarian in ancestry
  4. They're both big fans of Greece and Greek culture
  5. They were given (did not seek) Greek citizenship as an honor because of things they did that the Greek government regarded as services, something to do with helping victims of a fire.
  6. They're now both dual citizens of Greece and the US. (Dual citizenship is not an issue for Americans AFAIK unless they try to get certain security-clearance jobs. "Movie star" is not one of them.)
