Tom Hanks' Chinese Ancestry | Full Interview | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross 

A bunch friend and myself were extras for. Charlie Wilson’s war. Tom Hanks was the nicest actor in that whole cast. He went around saying good morning etc very friendly. He promised to take photos after the shoot was done. At the ending of the shooting ( last day working on set) most got on a bus to take the extras to the parking lot, as the bus was taking off, he ran after the bus and stopped it. He took photos , signed autographs etc. on the other had Julia Roberts PR person came into the Commissary and told everyone not to get close to her, do not Talk to her, do not take photos , do not ask for autographs etc. with Julia Roberts what you see is not what you get! On the other hand , Tom Hanks is the best! That’s why the public loves him!

The banter between the two was fantastic!

Hanks is SO funny in such a natural way, and cracks like a whip.

Tom Hanks is my favorite actor of all times. I’ve been following his career since Bussom Buddies.

I love that he doesn't care about the accents!! He just goes for it, no shame.... love it!!

This was one of the wittiest and most fun interviews I've seen in a long time

That was one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen.

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman...

I have been blessed by the evolution of Tom Hank's career unfolding in all it's complexity during my lifetime. I was there for the pilot episode of Bosom Buddies when he was 22 yrs old and I am here for this. I have seen him as everything from an unwilling transvestite to an abused aids patient and everything else he's ever done. This man well deserves a lifetime achievement award.

One of my favorite actor. Never watched a movie with him in it that I did not like. I've been watching since bosom buddies.

I’ve always adored Tom Hanks on interviews. Love his personality and humour.

Hanks is so much fun. Love him!

The most fun interview with Tom Hanks ever! Loved this♥️

Tom Hanks is a bloody legend.. I love his acting .. Brilliant in every way !!! :-D

The banter flows easily between these two. Great interview!! Very entertaining

OMG You have to love Tom Hanks. He is so quick

That was great. I'm always entertained watching his chats, and with a great interviewer also.

What a genuine, lovely man Tom Hanks is. Delightfully entertaining and a comic natural. Bravo!

I came here to learn about hnks Chinese ancestry, but in reality learned that he's a half Portuguese . Neat

That was delightful!

Tom's the best, quick-witted, keeps up w/Jonathan & is hilarious!💜

Great interview on both ends.

This was a great interview!

These two were having a blast together!

Lmmfao!!! LOVE and ADORE the jabs between them two, lol!!!

You know Chris Rock was sitting back stage laughing, and thinking, "Damn Tom Hanks make comedy look easy!"

Best interview ever. They resonated with each other and I hope they become best friends. Did you see how Tom Hanks held Jonathan's with hand when he wept a bit over a line in Sleepless in Seattle?

Hahaha this is a great matchup. Fun interview!

Wouldn't miss this interview for the world!

Good interview. I loved him especially in The Terminal.

This could be the best interview Wossie ever did.

Absolutely delighted to see Ken Stott in this film. He’s one of my favourite actors of all time.

Thank you for sharing Tom Hanks

I love Tom Hanks...he is hilarious. I have been of fan of his since he was on Bosom Buddies.

wow...how special to witness two very very smart artists having fun.

Great interview! A huge Tom Hanks fan, since Bosom Buddys.

Perhaps the greatest interviewee.

when Tom Hank's played the captain of that ship that was pirated by thoes Africans I was screaming bloody murder it was one of the most harrowing movies I'd ever seen. THE ending almost made me pass out. He is truly a gifted actor.

Tom Hanks is a quiet genius.

Tom’s Chinese ancestry being clickbait or not, this was very funny! I enjoyed it!

This was filmed 12 years ago so a lot more movies since then. Great actor....wonderful human being...related to Lincoln's mother.

LOVED the give and take! Subscribed!

Thanks to Tom Hanks, the price of typewriters has skyrocketed 🤣🤣

So much has changed since this interview...

And I will add that for some of us who dx hv that much time ,it's good to hv the summary. We appreciate that. Moreover there's absolutely nothing to stop those (who mistook her kind intentions) from watching all of the video.

Tom Hanks' Chinese Ancestry? I just got click baited.

Damn, Tom Hanks is hilarious without being crass.

Jonathan; “I find as I get older I cry more easily, I don’t know why that is?” Tom; “Do you watch your own show?” Savage.

Love John Ross’s 70’s long hair and his KGB like interview skills.

Love this guy and unbeliabable he was a comedian before being that great actor that he is nowdays. Greetings from Puerto Vallarta México

Wow! His mum is Portuguese! ThAt’s something I didn’t know! Neat. Hanks is my fav actor. Great interview!!

That Consul portable typewriter is beautiful! I had a Valentine portable typewriter back in the day.

Tom Hanks is one gorgeous man!!!!!

Film released 21 Dec 2007

Love T H ,what a great guy 😇

Tom certainly gave Jonathan a run for his money! Jonathan: as I grew older I cry easier. Tom: watch your own show? Bam!

was that comment that he would be available for mary poppins the reason he ended up as walt disney in the mary poppins film .

Tom Hanks is a riot.

That was just hilarious

Love him!!

Jonathan Ross is hilarious...never seen him before (being here in the U.S).

Tom Hanks is the best actor ever. He can play any role. God bless him.

I absolutely adore Tom Hanks! Not only is he a brilliant actor, but he is super intelligent and witty, and good looking and...and... I think he is great, in other words.

I understand the typewriter thing.🙂

You should write in the description when the videos were released/taped👍

I really enjoy Tom Hanks

Brilliant actor.. I didn't realize that his mother was portuguese... What a excelente surprise.. Wish him well

What a great man!

Don't forget * Forrest Gump *Classic. Always Excellent movies. Legendary. Smashing interview.

Tom hanks is wonderful.

I love Tom Hanks lol

Yes agreed best interview 🙌👍

that movie came out years ago, i have the dvd.

This was 11 years ago. Colin Hanks is 41 now...

Good grief, that takes me back, I can actually remember when that was first screened on the TV, gosh where have all the years gone,...

Great back and forth comedy. You cheeky bastards!

Love Tom hanks

"Turner and Hooch" : " He's eating my CAR !!!😱

that clip of Sleepless in Seattle, i never noticed before but you can see that every time the camera focuses on Meg its that soft blurry focus. anything else its focuses on is nice a sharp and clear. they use to do that A LOT in 50s and 60s film, you will see that actresses that are slightly older are always shot with that blurry soft focus while the rest of the film is all normal clear shot.

He can take a jab. Great guy!

I love that he collects typewriters, I wonder if he has any DVORAK typewriters? I have heard how much easier and faster they are, once you get the hang of it...

This show was recording in around 2007. I wish they made that clear. They make it look current with the 2019 date. I thought Tom looked a bit too good and young.

He’s such a great guy isn’t he.

I thought Hanks and Meg Ryan were up on top of Empire State Building alone. I was like wwaiiiitttt up!!! It must be Seattle. LOL LOL

Wore out the thing before DVD s three times and will get the DVD now of you've got mail. Can relax and be a part of the film when he is in any movie. thanks

I loved that movie, and he did a great movie.

THAT WAS A FAB INTERVIEW ! JONATHAN IS SOO FUNNY ; CHINESE ANCESTRY SO FUNNY LOL LOL TOM HANKS IS CLASS !

Tom Hanks' Chinese Ancestry....Does not exist.....but worth the watch... because.... Tom Hanks. 😊👍🏻

What a great sport.

What year was this interview appearance please?

And it was....Magic.

Great guy, a legend and a particularly humble one too with integrity to go with it. Though the film ''Charlie Wilson's War'' was about (another) one of the US Government's foreign policy mistakes.
