10 Things You Didn't Know About Tom Hanks

4. He Invited His Cab Driver To His Broadway Show

Hailed as the nicest guy in Hollywood, it's no surprise Hanks carries this nickname as last year another story came out regarding his kindness to strangers. A cab driver recounted on Humans of New York's Facebook page that Hanks hailed his cab as he was ending his shift, and was originally going to turn Tom down the ride. But then, feeling bad about it, decided to give Hanks a lift anyway. The cabbie didn't recognise the actor at first, although when he did, he yelled 'WILSON!' quite loudly, prompting Hanks to burst out laughing and take a picture with him. Turns out a lot of people who this cabbie gives lifts to know Tom Hanks - and the cab driver always sends a message to him through them telling him hello from 'Mr Ferrari' - as the cabbie was wearing a Ferrari cap during their journey. Then one day something wonderful happened. "One day I'm driving, and I get a text from one of the people that I'd driven, and it says: 'Mr. Hanks wants to invite you to see his Broadway show.'" The cab driver went to the show and was reunited with the man who he classes as the nicest celeb around. Aw, don't you just love a happy ending?
