Legendary actor Tom Hanks has a reputation for being one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, and that means he can actually poke fun at himself. Aren’t all nice people able to do that? It’s my opinion that if you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re a pretty unhappy person a lot of the time. And Tom Hanks is a guy who can definitely laugh at himself. In fact, the crazy teenage photo that resurfaced has resurfaced because someone on the inside shared it: Tom Hanks himself, on his Instagram! In fact, the actor has shared more than one embarrassing throwback photo and it makes us love him even more.
Seeing old photos of our favorite celebrities can be a bit jarring because we just assume that they’ve always been smooth as can be, but that’s not always the case. In fact, in some cases, the celebrities who seem so glamorous were once as dorky as some of us were (or are). Keep in mind that the finished product that we see is a person who has stylists, personal trainers, and a PR team to put their best face forward. However, with Tom Hanks, even though he was a little nerdy looking, he was still incredibly handsome. The fact is, the man has good genes, apparently, and he proved that by sharing a photo of his mom.
She’s a stunning beauty! We can certainly see where Tom gets his natural good looks. In his caption to the photo, he said, “This beauty? My mom. She was the difference in many lives. Many lives.” Sadly, he shared this photo in 2016 when his mom passed away, but he was certainly blessed to have so many years with his beloved mother. Let’s check out some photos of Tom in his youth. This one, for example, he captioned that it was taken 20 years ago with “Charlize Theron and the Playtone Galaxy of Stars.”
We love him in this look, which he apparently sported for an episode of “The Love Boat.” Who knew?
But here’s the true beauty. We’re totally loving his 1974 look!
