“My name is Tom Hanks!”: The A-list photo bomber strikes again
Photobomber Tom Hanks has struck again and has prompted a bride-to-be to cry tears of joy.
The 65-year-old actor posed alongside bride Grace Gwaltney for some photos while she was having her pre-ceremony photo shoot with her two bridesmaids outside their hotel in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
According to the newlywed, she was leaving the hotel when Hanks approached her and asked if he could take a photo with her. Grace said she was amazed to see him, and admitted that the bridal party “all started screaming” when they realised who he was.
“So we were all walking from the hotel to the limo, and out of nowhere, he pops up and just says, ‘My name is Tom Hanks! Can I take a photo with the bride?” she told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Grace also confirmed that the Forrest Gump actor was “just as wonderful and charming” as you’d expect, and said that even his wife, actress Rita Wilson, got in on the photos.
“We all started screaming and were pretty much in shock … He was just as wonderful and charming as you’d assume,” she said.
“His wife, Rita [Wilson], was there and got in some photos, too.”
According to photographer Rachel Rowland, who was the one behind the camera on the day, even Hanks’ celebrity status didn’t steal the spotlight from Grace and her husband, Luke.
“I’d like to say a photo bomb from Tom Hanks was the best part of yesterday but honestly I’d be lying. (No offence to the GOAT),” she wrote in the Instagram post where she shared the photos.
“Yesterday was filled with joy, and laughter and fun and love and family and hugs and I just can’t get enough of Grace and Luke.”
This isn’t the first time the A-list celebrity has photo bombed someone’s wedding photos, after he crashed the wedding of two brides on a Santa Monica beach.
