Hollywood actor Tom Hanks is considered one of the most beloved celebrities in the world. The actor, being very decent, modest and polite, won the hearts of thousands of fans around the world. Hanks does not consider himself an ideal person, claiming that his career is more successful than his life.

Hanks has four children. He became a father for the first time in 1977, at the age of 21. Only a year after the birth of the child, he married the woman who bore him a child. Producer Samantha Lewis became Hank’s wife. In this marriage, two children were born – son Colin and daughter Elizabeth. However, the marriage did not last long, nine years later they broke up. Samantha died of cancer in 2002.

In 1981, while still married, Hanks met actress Rita Wilson. They played the lead roles in the film “Volunteers”, and it became clear that they were not just colleagues. In 1988 they got married and had two sons.

Let’s find out what Tom Hanks’ children look like and what they do?

Colin Hanks (1977)

Colin Hanks is the eldest child of the actor. He is most like his father. He was born when his parents were not yet married. From childhood, he admired his father’s craft and, after some time, began to study theatrical art at the university.

Colin’s first professional meeting with big cinema took place in 1995. Then he worked as an assistant on the set of the film “Apollo 13”, in which his father played the main role. Now Colin regularly acts in films, but not in central roles. Colin is married and has two daughters.

Elizabeth Hanks (1982)

The only daughter of Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Ann decided not to enter the world of fame. She starred in several films as a teenager. And in 1996, she, along with her father and older brother, starred in the comedy “That thing You Do”, but acting did not become her life goal.

Elizabeth graduated from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and Vassar College of the Arts in English Language and Literature. Now she is a writer and publicist, published in major publications.

Chester Hanks (1990)

Chester Marlon Hanks (Chet Hanks) was born two years after the wedding of Tom Hanks and his second wife, Rita Wilson. It was he who became the most problematic child of the actor. Deciding to follow in his father’s footsteps, Chet began his acting career at the age of 17.

Due to promiscuity, an illegitimate daughter and the use of illegal substances, he appeared on the main pages of the press.

Truman Hanks (1995)

The youngest child of Tom Hanks – Truman Theodore, did not show interest in the creative profession in childhood, but then everything changed.

Truman has appeared in three films since 2018. In addition to acting, the son of a famous actor is a passionate hockey fan.
