    man that accent really made the movie that much better.
  • @joes-lv7ro
    The fact that Hanks not only stays in touch with his child co-star and makes a point to pay tribute to him as a veteran says alot about the man's character.
  • @sneezyg1
    Tom Hanks is a literal national treasure. It’s impossible to dislike him.

    6:00 After all the jokes at Walliams expense, Capaldi pointing out David swam the English Channel for charity was quite touching.
  • @miketalley7021
    Tom just took the time to say that he is a veteran. Tom is an incredible guy.

    I swear, The Graham Norton Show blows away anything we have in the States. He gets all of the best actors and he is able to get the best out of them.
  • Imagine having your childhood quirks preserved in form of a movie character.. by TOM HANKS.
  • @glrider100
    Tom Hanks reminds me so much of Jimmy Stewart. Talented, absolutely. Intelligent, without a doubt. But also comfortable with himself. There seems to be a confidence without the arrogance.
  • @maslover12
    The fact that Tom Hanks can pull out his Forest Gump voice flawlessly still, makes me so happy its insane
  • @tomassoejakto
    6:01 It's always nice to have someone else list your accomplishments to others. Very sweet of Peter Capaldi to've done that.
  • @S1L3NTG4M3R
    Who else is stuck in the never ending loop of The Graham Norton show. 👀👀
  • "My daddy makes grease." That is such a priceless behind-the-scenes story from FORREST GUMP.
  • @Ladco77
    I love how Peter Capaldi wants to share his success with others - passing around the Oscar, just having fun with it. He was like that during his tenure on Doctor Who as well, wanting his character to have some cheaper costumes so it would be easier for fans to afford to cosplay the character since it's normal costuming was typically very expensive. It seems both he and Hanks have managed to stay real and grounded in an industry that makes that nearly impossible.

    Tom hanks feels like an uncle to me. A favorite uncle that is. I just have so much respect,admiration and love for him it’s unexplainable. My absolute favorite actor,he’s in most of my favorite movies and on top of all that - he’s such a likable,amazing person.

    Tom Hanks, the closest thing to American Royalty.
  • @lurategh
    I will FOREVER love Forrest Gump.
  • I love that Tom Hanks decided to model his speech after the child's, instead of probably traumatizing the kid about how he spoke.

    Talk about showing respect: "He was 7 or 8 years old, a young man ..."
