Stylist.co.uk editor Kayleigh Dray shared her own: “My Tom Hanks story is my sister’s: she was a little kid on the Saving Private Ryan set and got lost. He found her + tried to lure her back to set by asking if she’d like to go for a run with him, but she said she wouldn’t go with a stranger. He waited for her so she was safe.”

One commenter shared how dancers from the Charlotte Ballet in North Carolina were trying not to gawk at the actor after he attended a show. Instead, Hanks approached them to gush over their performance and ask for a photo.

Another shared her dad’s experience: the firefighter and his coworkers had been out walking one morning when they ran into Hanks, who was out walking his dog in sweatpants with a coffee mug in hand. “He took the time to profusely shake everyone’s hand and chat with all these firefighters even though I’m sure he’d hoped he wouldn’t run into anyone up there,” she wrote.

There are more stories. Stories about how Hanks included sheepish strangers in conversations or how he remembered people after meeting them once.
