Hollywood Star Disguises Himself for NYC Subway Ride
Tom Hanks, the celebrated two-time Oscar winner, recently made a low-key appearance on the New York City Subway. The 69-year-old actor took the uptown 6 train on a Tuesday, attempting to go incognito while sporting a medical face mask.
Hanks wore a casual outfit, which included a green beanie, glasses, and a green jacket layered over a green sweater vest. His look was complemented with dark slacks and black loafers, along with a green bag. The “Forrest Gump” star was seen sitting quietly, obscuring his identity from fellow passengers.
Previous Subway Sightings
This isn’t Hanks’ first subway ride. On October 8, he was photographed on the same public transportation line wearing a black shirt, matching pants, and a tan denim jacket. He completed that look with black combat boots, large headphones, and, once again, a medical face mask. During that outing, he also carried an olive green backpack.
Memorable Moments
During his October trip, Hanks was spotted gripping the handrails while navigating the subway. The actor’s comfort and familiarity with the subway system stand out, as he has been frequently seen using NYC’s public transportation.
Notable Celebrity Subway Riders
Hanks isn’t alone in his choice of transportation. Other celebrities have also taken the subway, making seemingly relatable appearances. Some notable names include:
- Katie Holmes
- Ron Howard
- Kevin Bacon
- Harrison Ford
- Calista Flockhart
- Olivia Rodrigo
- John Leguizamo
In April, Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart were seen sharing a moment on a crowded subway platform. Additionally, Olivia Rodrigo showcased her fashion sense on the subway last December, donning a retro black and white polka dot dress.
John Leguizamo was photographed in 2020, taking a rest while seated on a subway bench. He was recognized for his unique look, including an umbrella and an all-black outfit during his nap.
Public transportation offers a glimpse into the everyday lives of these stars, showing that fame does not always come with the luxury of avoiding the subway.
