In an interview with People magazine published this week, Tom Hanks said that he has made “a tonne of movies and four of them are pretty good, I think”. Come again? Four?
Hanks has been been the lovable Grandfather of Hollywood for decades, which makes the fact that he’s just 66 years old really quite surprising. Starring in his first film in 1980, the actor has made over a whopping 65 movies in the 42 years since (plus he has starred in dozens of TV shows, acted on stage, created his own Emmy Award-winning TV miniseries, and has written a bestselling collection of short stories).
