He’s one of Hollywood’s busiest guys but the amiable Tom Hanks has plenty of time for his fans.
This was a moment back in 2013 where the acclaimed Forrest Gump and Cast Away star popped backstage after a theatre performance to spend some time with autistic fan Sarah Moretti and it made the girl’s day.
While it is an old video in internet terms, it has only recently been uploaded to YouTube but it is already going viral, racking up almost half a million views already.
Sarah is a dedicated fan of Hanks and has been working on a portfolio for him so she couldn’t have been more excited when he came through to see her and gave her a warm hug.
Hanks had been performing in the play Lucky Guy which has been nominated for six Tony awards including Best Performance by a Leading Actor.
