As Tom Hanks Literally Jumps Into His 69th Birthday, Rita Wilson, John Stamos, Goldie Hawn And More Sweetly Celebrated ‘Mr. Handsome Pants’

by

Tom Hanks, affectionately known as America’s Dad, is undeniably one of Hollywood’s most cherished and recognized actors during his era. From the get-go, he has made us laugh through iconic roles, demonstrated his versatility by excelling both on-screen and behind the scenes as a writer, and cemented his fame in Hollywood by founding a production company. It goes without saying that Hanks’ work is highly acclaimed, and personally, it holds an even deeper place in our hearts. As he prepares to leap into another year of life, many celebrities are taking the time to celebrate this 69-year-old icon.

Yesterday, the high-profile celebrity shared a couple of things on his Instagram, diving into the celebrations a bit prematurely. First, he commented that Tom Hanks’ video of himself leaping into water was the ideal way to mark the special event. Second, he announced his participation in a radio birthday bash on TuneIn. Take a look at the original Saturday Night Live’s Five Timers Club member’s entertaining post below:

On his birthday, it’s the main actor of the upcoming Toy Story 5 who manages to strike a harmonious blend of leisure and work. I doubt many would consider, let alone pursue, something that is both fun and productive for their birthday celebration. But given Hanks’ track record, it’s no surprise he has found such an arrangement. To be honest, if I were him, I’d find it hard to leave the luxurious yacht (assuming his jumping-off point) or that breathtaking beach setting. Just imagining those two elements creates a balance for me.

Mentioned earlier, many family members and friends arrived this morning to personally congratulate the Oscar winner on his birthday. Naturally, Rita Wilson, his wife, was present to start the festivities by posting a heartfelt message through her Instagram account. She uploaded a single photo of him along with a touching caption: “Happy Birthday, my love. 🩷” Take a look at this sweet tribute yourself:

I absolutely cherish heartfelt and affectionate birthday messages, and Wilson’s was no different. Instead of flooding us with glamorous or iconic shots of Hollywood Hanks, she chose a more intimate one – a snapshot of them at home. The authenticity radiates from the veteran actor sitting casually in his home, clad in everyday attire and posing with his typewriter. This simple image has only added to my admiration for this remarkable pair.

Of course, it wasn’t just the star from “Jingle All the Way” who expressed affection for Hanks on his 69th birthday. A host of celebrities, including John Stamos, Goldie Hawn, and many others, left heartfelt messages in the comments section. Their sentiments were all positive and they even coined a quirky nickname for him. Here are some of the famous faces who joined in:

  • Goldie Hawn: Happy happy day! Can’t even imagine our lives if you were never born! Love you! 🥰
  • John Stamos: Mr Handsome pants
  • Kate Hudson: Happy Birthday 🎉🎂
  • Julianne Moore: Happy birthday Tom!!
  • Carrie Preston: Happy Birthday!!

It’s a birthday that’s hard to overlook, as you can see, this is merely a snippet of A-listers sending their best wishes, along with numerous others. What has me scratching my head, though, is the nickname Stamos gave Hanks. I wonder where it originated and if it’s commonly used (though I realize this may or may not be part of my birthday greeting this year).

As a follower here at TopMob, we can’t help but share the excitement with Wilson and the team in extending our warmest wishes to Tom Hanks on his 69th birthday! In honor of this special day, I might just delve into his upcoming film, titled The Phoenician Scheme, which is set for release in 2025.
