Despite Coronavirus, Tom Hanks Wants Us All To Remember "There Is No Crying In Baseball"
Tom Fuckin' Hanks, man.
It obviously sucks that Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have Coronavirus, but leave it to possibly the most beloved man in entertainment to give us such a calming message during all of this chaos (with some humor sprinkled in).
It doesn't get more true than this: "There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no?"
It's basically a short pump-up speech, as my friend Glenny Balls put it...
Tom Hanks' importance to society was actually a major joke to end the series 'VEEP' last year. Early in the series' first episode, there was a joke about Tom Hanks dying and having it take over the news cycle…
Seven years later, they finally paid the joke off…
Julia Louis-Dreyfus told a story to Jimmy Kimmel about getting approval from Hanks to pull off the joke.
What a legend. Easy going, positive and always with a sense of humor.
Here's to Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, making sure we all keep our heads on straight during this weird, weird time. I (we all) hope they recover and get well soon. Enjoy this fantastic Tom Hanks montage from the 2020 Golden Globes…
NOTE: Him signing posts with "HANX" is fantastic
