Tom Hanks Rides NYC Subway Like Any Commuter, Surprising Riders This Week

The low-key outing follows renewed attention to his daughter's candid memoir.

Overview

  • Eyewitness photos show the 69-year-old standing on the New York City 6 train earlier this week.
  • He was pictured in a khaki jacket over a gray sweater with black pants, a green Yankees cap, clear glasses, a face mask, and a backpack.
  • A few passengers recognized him and snapped images that circulated online, with reports noting he appeared relaxed near the carriage doors.
  • The Mirror reports he later bought a $1 coffee from a street cart and gave money to a street performer before continuing on his way.
  • Coverage links the sighting to E. A. Hanks’s recent memoir about her difficult childhood, which Tom praised in a June Access Hollywood interview for its honesty.
