Tom Hanks: You've Got MySpace!

Isn't Tom Hanks a little too old to be on MySpace?



Yes, Forrest Gump himself has a MySpace page -- and he's even posting video blogs on it. The first was just to introduce himself, and the latest shows him driving around in his electric car. Among Hanks' top friends are Leonardo DiCaprio and Lance Bass. Hanks, a n*NYSNC fan -- who knew?

In the About Me section of his page, Hanks writes, "I'm that actor in some of the movies you liked and some you didn't." Apparently, he saw "The Terminal."

32. There is no age limit on myspace. If you are going to criticize adults for creating profiles than sorry but you are the idiot. It is a great resource to get in touch with old high school friends and/or college buddies you may have lost touch with. Also as a parent I created my page so that I could monitor my nieces and nephews who have pages. Unfortunately pedophiles and others like to stalk those sites to find victims. Don't call the informed and educated names because you don't know how to operate a computer.

34. For all you MySpace haters, unless you have tried it don't knock it. I am 45 and I have a MySpace. I keep in touch with many family members and have re-established old friendships through it. I have over 70 contacts on MySpace and not one of them is under 25 years old. I am so sick of people assuming that it is only for 13 year old girls. There is no need to be so judgemental about something you seem to know very little about.

36. Tom, I'm sure it's a very nice little box car, however, you're NOT watching the road!

37. Lay off. I'm old enough to be Tom Hanks' mother and I have a MySpace page. It's not just for teens any more.

38. Shouldn't Tom be watching the road? Just saying. It's illegal to talk on a cell phone unless it's hands-free and his hands definitely were not free!!!

40. No, TMZ, Tom is not too old to have a page at MySpace, just as my TMZ neighbors and I are not too old to chime in and rant and crack a few jokes here at your fab site--well, fab depending on the day, don't want you to get the big head. And I enjoy some of the names we give ourselves here--mine is an ode to the late, great Freddy Fender. So let Tom mingle with his fans at MySpace. I am a fan of his, catch as catch can--I just got around to watching You've Got Mail last week, a fun flick and Meg was just as cute as a button.

41. Love the actor. Love the fact that he cares enough to do something to save gas, unlike everyone out there driving an SUV or other ridiculous ego stroking gas guzzler, and that he's educating people about a little talked about alternative.

42. Too old for myspace? How old is Tom Hanks? How young do you have to be? I'm 52, and I've got myspace. Never too old!

45. Tom Hanks is a down to earth, nice guy with a good heart who is also a fabulous actor. Good for him for promoting an electric car without sounding too political!
