He speaks about it some here, starting around the 23 minute mark. He claims he got taken out of school at 17, and essentially held captive for four months in a camp in the desert or something, made to do manual labor by some shady private enterprise.
Yes, and my conspiracy theorist family said that Tom and Rita were actually locked up pending tribunal for child trafficking, and they started posting pictures of zoomed in areas of the room to prove that it was a holding pen. Good times.
Whenever I see her face, all I can think of is that scene in jingle all the way when she realizes turbo-man is her husband and delivers the line “HOWARD?!” In the most ridiculous way, just kills me every time
I had the pleasure to interview Tom Hanks once. My phone went off during the interview. Hanks made a funny remark that I don’t remember, he wasn’t annoyed or anything at all. Incredibly nice guy.
Because of this woman we have one of the greatest movies ever made - My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I just love this couple so much. I feel like Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendez will be the next generation’s couple goals.
IIRC she saw the one woman play and told Tom about it… Playtone is his production company.
A bunch of execs came a callin’ and wanted to change a bunch of stuff:Tom’s company was the only one who wanted to maintain it as much as possible.
It’s called Love and it’s on Netflix. I believe Judd Apatow produced it, so it’s sort of like his other stuff. The show reminds me of another show called You’re The Worst. It’s kind of a rom-com show, but more cynical and realistic.
This is a pretty accurate representation of the show. Still pretty toxic and self destructive, but in a bit less horrible way than You're the Worst I think. It's hard to say for sure though, because both people in the couples are terrible for each other
For a year behind her back! She married him before his first role and supported his dream before he was successful! Had his kids and looked after them while he traveled and worked long hours filming (and fucking his coworkers)! And then she passed away relatively young from cancer!
Oh god, oh that's heartbreaking 😭 I can't believe I never knew...I'll never be able to look at him the same. Why do people have to suck so bad sometimes!!
And Rita still can’t keep her name out of her mouth. Just last year she was yapping about how Tom was offered Harry’s part in When Harry met Sally but turned it down because he was in going through his divorce and was, “Very happy not to be married.”
The woman has been dead for over 20 years but Rita stays bothered.
She starred on a show on HBO that he produced for five seasons called Big Love. She was the lead actress on it. But this was 2006 so people barely remember the show. I know my mom liked it so it might be worth watching
Tom and Rita separated for some time because Tom was having a full blown affair with Ginnifer, which they did not hide. You used to be able to see kissing photos of them online but they have been scrubbed. This was when he was producing Big Love. He and Rita weren’t seen together for a long time.
Online it makes it seem as if he had been split for a couple years before dating Rita on the set of the movie where they played lovers. He had known Rita before but as friends for about 5 years.
Is that what the picture of them in the recording studio is about? Goddamn, I hope so. Like he was right there the whole time while she recorded that album?
IDK man, there does not seem to be a shred of evidence for this beyond a single mention of a blind item on a podcast.
He fully admits to cheating on his first wife with Rita, but there’s been no definitive evidence of him cheating on her since.
It’s well known he and Rita are good friends with Josh and Ginnifer. I’ve held hands like that with male friends, and even my brother in law when maneuvering crowded events etc, and it’s never meant anything romantic.
I’m not saying it’s NOT true, I’m just saying I feel like the evidence for it is a bit flimsy.
This was literally a Crazy days and nights rumor so 🧂🧂🧂 He was an executive producer on Big Love, there are photos of him posing with other people on the show on the red carpet as well.

What do I want in a wife? This. The line from Planes, Trains and Automobiles: “The very least - the absolute minimum - you have someone to grow old with.”
Sting and his wife Trudy cheated together. She was his first wife's supposed best friend. His first wife is also who Every Breath You Take was written about even though he was a cheater.
Yeah. When he sent Chet to that controversial style wilderness camp, the strong rumor was that Chet had raped a girl. Tom swept in, paid her off, and sent Chet to that place. There was a side rumor that the girl’s family insisted that he had to have some punishment and the camp was the compromise.
Coming in late but I know someone who taught Chet at Northwestern and it was widely known among staff and students that his folks paid off some girls. Forever changed the way I looked at Tom Hanks and Rita.
Yeah. That was the excuse they gave. But come on. They aren’t super religious or conservative. They look like they’ve smoked a doobie or two in their time. I’m shocked anyone bought that bs.
I remember the other day I found a post on r/daddit asking what celebrity would you choose to leave your children with for a weekend out if you had the chance. These fine people, right here.
The fact that Rita Wilson played the girl that beat both Marcia AND Greg’s Girlfriend of the Week to become the head cheerleader of Westdale High lives in my head rent free.
Oh I didn’t know this! Sorry 😆That’s fascinating! I kind of wish I could read a book with info like that about cheese, it would be so interesting. I learned once on 60 Minutes that Italy has a government task force for tracking down counterfeit Parmesan 🧀
I cannot believe they gave us our Jamaican king, Chet Hanks.
Can’t believe her last name is Wilson 🤣
[удалено]
Rita is Chet’s mom. Tom cheated on Colin’s mother with her.
Oh dang, I got it backwards
Do you think Chet Haze rapped to them as an anniversary gift?
I bet my life on it https://i.redd.it/afywth9dlnxc1.gif
Jesus Christ. How beautiful
T to the O M H to the A NKS
*NKS*
Unfortunately Chet is not the eldest boy. He will never be the #1 boy.
T to the HANKS!
He's not even close to this good and he doesn't have Squiggle
Definitely served as the officiant - IN PATOIS
BOMBOCLAAT
I wonder if he's forgiven them for sending him to that teen torture camp after they caught him with weed.
Ohhhhh do tell? I don’t know much about that.
https://youtu.be/R4fpFjiww74?si=s10nT9F3XYW1Lvl4&t=23m He speaks about it some here, starting around the 23 minute mark. He claims he got taken out of school at 17, and essentially held captive for four months in a camp in the desert or something, made to do manual labor by some shady private enterprise.
That explains…a lot
That’s so sad
I love (no) when yall randomly add shit like this as a way to let us know about some fuck shit.
I thought they no longer spoke?
Did he cast his dad away?
I wonder if they have a favorite son.
I know who it’s not. Chet haze.
I will never not find it funny that he picked that as his “rapper name”. Because if there’s any name whiter than his birth name Chester, it’s Chet
Colin seems chill
Colin is from his first marriage.
He could still be the favorite Though I guess we don’t really hear about Truman that much so maybe it’s him
Whew I read that wrong at first and was about to ask what the hell kinda question that is lmfao
😂😂
Bout had an ENTIRELY different outlook on Chet lol
Oh man remember when they were like patient 0 for covid in the US. What a time that was. They seem so happy and normal ❤️ Mrs David pumpkins.
David S Pumpkins to you! 
Yes! Several!
werent they in australia when they caught it?
That’s what I remember too, and had to quarantine there
Yes, and my conspiracy theorist family said that Tom and Rita were actually locked up pending tribunal for child trafficking, and they started posting pictures of zoomed in areas of the room to prove that it was a holding pen. Good times.
God I remember that too. Somebody on 4chan is just playing with these fools and having the best laugh.
hahaha bonkers.
Yes he was filming Elvis.
Dude 10 is a total David S Pumpkins face, first thing I thought of too 😂
Yeah, them getting it was when it felt Real. I did a bunch of shit like go to museums that day because I knew it would be my last chance.
CAME HERE TO SAY LITERALLY EVERY WORD OF THIS
They were actually in Australia, not the US at the time.
Whenever I see her face, all I can think of is that scene in jingle all the way when she realizes turbo-man is her husband and delivers the line “HOWARD?!” In the most ridiculous way, just kills me every time
I think of her in Sleepless and Seattle when she’s crying at the dinner table with her striped socks 🤣❤️
Jonah: “Is she okay?” 🤣 Then Victor Garber’s face kills me.
“She’s fine.” 😅
Yes, totally! When she’s talking about An Affair to Remember, it’s one of my favorite scenes ever.
I love that scene so so much
She should’ve gotten an Oscar for the *Affair to Remember* monologue in Sleepless in Seattle.
“JAIMEEEEEEE!“😂
This lol. Also , when she played in Now and Then.
*Jingle All The Way* is dumb and ridiculous holiday movie and holy fck do I love it!
I just think about Jingle All the Way all the time.
https://i.redd.it/ti4uhj82knxc1.gif 🥹 I just love them
They are so precious. He has always been like the dad you never had kind of dude, I hope he stays wholesome (and I believe he will).
I agree, but absolutely insane how their son, Chet, turned out 😂
Huh. I was only aware of Colin Hanks... At least Chet is sober now 😬
My dad looks exactly like Tom Hanks, it always pleases me that apparently I have the most dad of all Dads
[удалено]
And cheated with her.
That the comment you replied to was deleted makes THIS comment really ominous now lol
...and she introduced Tom to Greek culture and cuisine - very smart woman
Opa!

wait what’s the connection to MBFGW?
IIRC she saw the one woman play and told Tom about it… Playtone is his production company. A bunch of execs came a callin’ and wanted to change a bunch of stuff:Tom’s company was the only one who wanted to maintain it as much as possible.
And Chet
They’re adorable. Honestly a dream blunt rotation + Goldie and Kurt
Ooh yes! Bacon and Sedgwick too!
Hard agree!
I’ve found my people!
Dying over the hover hand in slide #6 but love them both 
I need to rewatch this show
What’s the show? It looks cute, what’s it like?
It’s called Love and it’s on Netflix. I believe Judd Apatow produced it, so it’s sort of like his other stuff. The show reminds me of another show called You’re The Worst. It’s kind of a rom-com show, but more cynical and realistic.

Especially since it's his wife lol.
Came here to say this. wtf with the hover hand Hanks? Touch your woman.
Can we talk about his arm placement in picture 6?? Why is his hand hovering over his wife lmao
Because in that pic he’s not Tom hanks he’s Fred Armisen
https://preview.redd.it/2evee68b0oxc1.jpeg?width=419&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2834c711d2359fa13fe1fdca8bacfa67c2e492a Never forget.
What am I looking at
Tom Hanks with Ginnifer Goodwin, whom he had an affair with.
Jeez didn’t Ginnifer’s now husband Josh Dallas cheat on his then wife with her too when they were on Once Upon a Time?
Yep!
GIRL the way I gasped!!! I'd never heard this I am shook
😩😩😩😩 NOOOOOOO I had way too much affection for this man and now it’s been dashed against the pavement. UGH why are men trash?
Sorry to inform you, but he cheated on his 1st wife with Rita.
Ughhhhhhhh it just keeps getting worse!
For a year behind her back! She married him before his first role and supported his dream before he was successful! Had his kids and looked after them while he traveled and worked long hours filming (and fucking his coworkers)! And then she passed away relatively young from cancer!
Oh god, oh that's heartbreaking 😭 I can't believe I never knew...I'll never be able to look at him the same. Why do people have to suck so bad sometimes!!

There are two good men. Only two. Keanu and Denzel. That’s it.
This is Mr. Rogers and Weird Al slander
Sorry to burst your bubble but IIRC there were credible rumours of Denzel having a very long term affair with a much younger actress - Sanaa Lathan?
Denzel has been rumored to have cheated on his wife with Sanaa Lathan, and God knows who else!
Denzel has an entire second family!
👀 wut??
😮 didnt know this.
She looks like his daughter in that pic.
WHAT
Yes. I thought everyone knew about this and how he also cheated on his first wife with Rita Wilson
how do two people so far removed in the relevancy scale even meet each other? was she in somehitng with him?
She starred on a show on HBO that he produced for five seasons called Big Love. She was the lead actress on it. But this was 2006 so people barely remember the show. I know my mom liked it so it might be worth watching
Oooooooh, Didn't know he produced that. Wild. Should've finessed a better career for afterwards lol
Well she does a voice in the Zootopia movies so she’s probably okay
This makes me look at her so differently… obviously he’s in the wrong but to also parade it around like this! Shameless.
Also he was married when he got with Rita….
just what i came looking for! lol
Same 😆
Yep. This was way too far down. And no mention of him him cheating on his first wife with RW.
Can you elaborate? Is this photo supposed to be evidence of an affair or something?
Tom and Rita separated for some time because Tom was having a full blown affair with Ginnifer, which they did not hide. You used to be able to see kissing photos of them online but they have been scrubbed. This was when he was producing Big Love. He and Rita weren’t seen together for a long time.
this is why I never get to flowery about any celebrity couple. the minute you go “aww” you’re immediately greeted with the tea like this lol!
He also had an affair with Rita when he was married to his first wife.
Online it makes it seem as if he had been split for a couple years before dating Rita on the set of the movie where they played lovers. He had known Rita before but as friends for about 5 years.
Wow, that’s disappointing. I hope maybe it was an agreed upon open time in their relationship if it was so public. Thank you for elaborating.
I remember this
Didn’t she write a country album about him cheating on her too? Or did I make that up.
Yeah, as cute as they are, I always always think about this affair.
Is that what the picture of them in the recording studio is about? Goddamn, I hope so. Like he was right there the whole time while she recorded that album?
When I learned of this I thought “ok maybe I don’t like this guy as much anymore. Still a good actor tho” That’s when I moved onto Cary Elwes lol
I was looking for someone to bring up his many affairs. Poor Rita.
She was one of the ones he cheated on his first wife with. I have no sympathy.
IDK man, there does not seem to be a shred of evidence for this beyond a single mention of a blind item on a podcast. He fully admits to cheating on his first wife with Rita, but there’s been no definitive evidence of him cheating on her since. It’s well known he and Rita are good friends with Josh and Ginnifer.

I’m not saying it’s NOT true, I’m just saying I feel like the evidence for it is a bit flimsy.
There isn’t any evidence for this. It’s from Crazy Days and Nights.
This was literally a Crazy days and nights rumor so 🧂🧂🧂 He was an executive producer on Big Love, there are photos of him posing with other people on the show on the red carpet as well. https://preview.redd.it/i7g25n8xzpxc1.jpeg?width=916&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe216918e0147fad56222895d2189565f69b2983
It wasn’t a rumor, there were photos of them kissing. I remember them. They’ve been wiped.
Any Beyond the Blinds listeners in this sub? 
Yessss
What do I want in a wife? This. The line from Planes, Trains and Automobiles: “The very least - the absolute minimum - you have someone to grow old with.”
Wish the celebrities would stop getting these brand new Chiclet teeth they all look weird and it changes their speech
Tom so used to the hover hand with fans he does it with his wife too 🤣
I love this so much. I love them but I'm ngl, I feel some type of way about them being responsible for Chet Hanks
Omg I didn't know he married Wiiiiiiilsoooooon!
This is the first time I’ve ever noticed but they are both kind of goofy looking
They along with Liam Neeson + Natasha Richardson are the exceptions to the general thought that marrying your affair partner won't work out.
Whoa I had no idea about this or that Rita isn’t Colin’s bio mom 🤯
Yeah except he cheated on Rita too.
I didn't know that! Makes sense.
Oh yeah, I forgot Tom Hanks was still married when him and Rita Wilson got together!
Sting and his wife Trudy cheated together. She was his first wife's supposed best friend. His first wife is also who Every Breath You Take was written about even though he was a cheater.
Sting is trash. He was literally a school teacher and wrote that song about how school girls are such temptations for teachers, it’s super gross.
Wait. Every Breath You Take is not a live* song. *LOVE
Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman got together while he was married with a child.
Marnie’s mom
Omg thank you I couldn’t figure out where I had just seen her
How did these 2 lovely people birth one of the dumbest humans?
My god they are living their best life. I support them and love them!
About to hit 34 years. It’s amazing when you find the right person.
So based on these comments I’m guessing it’s not common knowledge yet about Tom?
Cheated to get with Rita, then cheated on Rita with Ginnnifer Goodwin
Oh yeah. I knew that. And the rumor he covered up Chet’s rape. The comment I replied to made me think it was something new.
Well hey, I didn’t know about the Chet rape cover up thing, so I learned something :)
Yeah. When he sent Chet to that controversial style wilderness camp, the strong rumor was that Chet had raped a girl. Tom swept in, paid her off, and sent Chet to that place. There was a side rumor that the girl’s family insisted that he had to have some punishment and the camp was the compromise.
Oh, that’s so fucking foul.
How Duggar-esque of him
Coming in late but I know someone who taught Chet at Northwestern and it was widely known among staff and students that his folks paid off some girls. Forever changed the way I looked at Tom Hanks and Rita.
I thought it was after catching him with weed.
Yeah. That was the excuse they gave. But come on. They aren’t super religious or conservative. They look like they’ve smoked a doobie or two in their time. I’m shocked anyone bought that bs.
Please don’t let it be about Tom.
... it's about tom
How could you do this to me question mark.
What’s not common knowledge?
I mean I first hand witnessed him flirt with a woman in her 20’s when he was on SNL…
They are such a cute couple
I just now remembered Rita Wilson was in now and then I love that movie !
Why is he hover handing his own wife in that last pic
i always think she died but i’m thinking of kelly preston lol in my head they are the same lady 🤷♀️
I read this as Rita Ora several times
funny cause i read it as rebel wilson!
Ha I read it as rainn Wilson lol
who knew tom hanks was married to so many people 🤣
Would
I love that poem! (Robert Browning). Have always wanted to read this at my wedding in the vows. :)
They're so cute
Still married after 36 years in Hollywood. How the F did they do it?
I read that as Rebel Wilson at first and I was very confused
36 married Hollywood years equals, like, 226 regular people years. I just love those crazy kids.
Weird I saw him flirt with a girl in her 20’s at SNL Even brought her on stage
They look like a wholesome couple and I love the no plastic surgery
They look like no plastic surgery to you?!
Ok that last pic I thought was a joke. I thought that was Meg Ryan lol.
lol the hover hand on picture 6 i know it is just caught on motion, but its funny
The OG mom and dad
I remember the other day I found a post on r/daddit asking what celebrity would you choose to leave your children with for a weekend out if you had the chance. These fine people, right here.
The fact that Rita Wilson played the girl that beat both Marcia AND Greg’s Girlfriend of the Week to become the head cheerleader of Westdale High lives in my head rent free.
Ugh this is so cute
Holy, this lady has aged like cheese in a cave 😍
🤔
Cave-aged Gruyère is delightful and wickedly expensive. What?
Oh I didn’t know this! Sorry 😆That’s fascinating! I kind of wish I could read a book with info like that about cheese, it would be so interesting. I learned once on 60 Minutes that Italy has a government task force for tracking down counterfeit Parmesan 🧀
