Hi my bro!!I think that the Tom Hanks became an Eastern Orthodox Christian.
Look here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Hanks
... Before marrying Rita Wilson, Hanks converted to the Greek Orthodox Church, the religion of Wilson and her family.[97][98]Hanks said, "I must say that when I go to church—and I do go to church—I ponder the mystery. I meditate on the 'why?' of 'why people are as they are' and 'why bad things happen to good people,' and 'why good things happen to bad people' ... The mystery is what I think it is, almost, the grand unifying theory of mankind."[16]

That monk looks thrilled. He's thinking, "Is this the guy from Bosom Buddies, Dragnet, Volunteers, and the dude who played the homosexual in that one movie? Isn't he pro-gay? Will this photo come back to haunt me?" ROFL
Haha, yeah, Tom is a mixed bag. He does give a lot of money to Orthodox parishes and monasteries and such

In what movie did he play a homosexual? I do remember the movie where he dated outside his species when he lusted after a sea mammal. Probably the last good movie he made.
And that article with Rita Wilson, the very first paragraph is complete rubbish. Turned him "full blooded greek" and talked about her "greek heritage", meanwhile she's Bulgarian/Turkish and Albanian!, lol. The real mystery is why she hides her Bulgarian roots.
