Tom Hanks has committed another act of photobombing – and again it was at a wedding. The Oscar winner surprised a bride in downtown Pittsburgh over the weekend, reports CBS news station KDKA.
Photographer Rachel Rowland snapped away, capturing the bride and bridesmaids. In one photo, the bride looks shocked – as Hanks had just walked past and can be seen in the background. According to KDKA, the actor is in town filming A Man Called Otto.
Hanks stopped and posed with the bride, Grace Gwaltney, and her bridesmaids outside of the Fairmont Pittsburgh, reports Entertainment Tonight Canada.
Rowland has posted a number of her shots on Instagram, but admitted the photo bombshell of Hanks wasn’t the best part of the day – despite him being the GOAT, or ‘greatest of all time’.
“Yesterday was filled with joy and laughter and fun and love and family and hugs and I just can’t get enough Grace and Luke,” the photographer wrote in the caption.
She told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette how the photo bomb came about. “We all went from the hotel to the limousine and out of nowhere he appeared and just said, ‘My name is Tom Hanks! Can I take a picture with the bride?’ We all started screaming and were pretty shocked,” Rowland said. “He was just as wonderful and charming as one would assume. His wife Rita [Wilson]She was there and brought in some photos too.”
Hanks crashed another wedding last year while walking on Santa Monica Beach. The two brides, Diciembre and Tashia Farries, were shocked by the star’s appearance.
“It’s been a great day,” Tashia said. “We had a beautiful ceremony and go take pictures with our photographer and we line up our family and Tom Hanks walks through the crowd asking to take a picture with us,” Tashia said, adding that Hanks told them how nice they were, and stayed for five minutes to talk.
And in 2016, while running in New York’s Central Park, he spotted a wedding. The newlyweds invited him to be a part of their wedding photos, and Hanks even posted a photo on his Instagram. “Elizabeth and Ryan! Congratulations and blessings! Hanx,” he wrote.
