He still does the voice spot on after so many years!

Yup

He's an actor you know

That Gump voice!!!

I could listen to him read the phone book (in any voice) and still be entertained

Tom did a brilliant South Carolina accent in the Green Mile. He got the deep South drawl down to perfection.

Did anyone else notice how he knew that kid became a veteran and served. That right there shows how genuine he is

@Bacon King Ricky Gervais has never opened or hosted the Oscars actually.

@JustAPerson Spot on

@Mike B Not anymore! Afghanistan as allies with China and the American government is now trying to ally with Venezuela. Think that over

You’re gonna be appalled to find out the true nature of Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks is a literal national treasure. It’s impossible to dislike him.

Unless he wants you to. Like in the new Elvis movie

@Teemo If you don't like other people's comments then don't read them or respond to them, really very simple isn't it ?

uh huh huh huh 🤔. Grease. uh huh huh huh

His reactions to Ricky Gervais at Goldenglobes showed me how unfun he can get 🙃

The fact that Tom Hanks can pull out his Forest Gump voice flawlessly still, makes me so happy its insane

But kid is the real star he actually talks that way

May be the coolest thing, ever

Hear hear.

I love how Peter Capaldi tells Tom that David had swam the channel for charity and Tom can’t quite believe it. The three of them are great.

hahaha

Tom: And You think this is achivement? I have swum the channel under heavy fire from the beach.

Tom Hanks to David: "Maybe I can be you in a movie about swimming the Channel, and I'll get another Oscar!"

@david cooley He was Doctor Who.

@kali me either.never heard of him...

The fact that Hanks not only stays in touch with his child co-star and makes a point to pay tribute to him as a veteran says alot about the man's character.

@Smarterthan You I'm not worried about their plans. God's plan is sovereign and takes precedence over evil...The wicked will be removed from the earth and a new heaven and earth will be created Revelation 21:1 "Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. "

@Trần Anh spoken like a true slave. Well done, you make your overlords very pleased.

@Smarterthan You I am quite aware unfortunately of the evil in this world . One day this world will cease to exist when Jesus returns to establish His kingdom on a new earth . John 3:16

Imagine having your childhood quirks preserved in form of a movie character.. by TOM HANKS.

yes

A perfectly good reason not to lose them.

👍👍👍👍

Even better: an Oscar worthy performance.

6:00 After all the jokes at Walliams expense, Capaldi pointing out David swam the English Channel for charity was quite touching.

@PJ Train 26 miles or so yes very impresive and it's cold and choppy

+1 for the Lindsey picture

I just love Tom Hanks. He never makes a bad film. I just recently watched Forrest Gump, never seen it before, and I was just blown away by his performance. Even just listening to him doing the voice is amazing.

I love how Peter Capaldi wants to share his success with others - passing around the Oscar, just having fun with it. He was like that during his tenure on Doctor Who as well, wanting his character to have some cheaper costumes so it would be easier for fans to afford to cosplay the character since it's normal costuming was typically very expensive. It seems both he and Hanks have managed to stay real and grounded in an industry that makes that nearly impossible.

"He won the hearts of the nation when he swam the Channel for charity." "I've done that, done that!" And then Tom Hanks won another Oscar for portraying David Walliams swimming the Channel! 😂

Saving Private Wilson?

At a certain point, Peter Capaldi realized that there was too much ragging on David Walliams for not having an Oscar, and even though Capaldi probably knew Hanks was (and is) a nice guy, he may have thought that Hanks' continued needling was too much, so he shifted to a self-deprecating story about himself, and shifted it again to pointing out Walliams' achievement for charity. In just a few words, Capaldi deftly managed to change the conversation, show his humility, and put the spotlight on someone else. To me that shows how much of a class act Capaldi is.

@Derek Hiemforth If you've ever seen any of David Walliam's work you'd realise the needling was pretty tame.

Agreed, what a lovely chap

Came here looking for this and am happy and relieved.

I am glad I read this comment before it actually happened in the video. I knew what to look out for. Thanks for pointing this out.

@liamio2802 he was being sarcastic :)

I'm fascinated by this show. Less censorship and freedom of speech that we are supposed to have! The openness and true persona of his guests that we in the states don't see in the states is refreshing!

I love that Tom Hanks decided to model his speech after the child's, instead of probably traumatizing the kid about how he spoke.

Why would he traumatize let alone a child

Okay yes, but I think the word “traumatizing” is being used way too brazenly.

Yeah and I thought that was from Ray Stevens the streak record.

Tom Hanks talking like Forest Gump and joking with the Doctor is exactly what I needed today!

How can you not like Tom Hanks? He’s such a lovely man. Very down to earth, and it comes through in every interview he does.

I love how Peter Capaldi talks about winning an Oscar for a short film was almost underwhelming, and recently he was one of BBC's most iconic characters.

I remember reading a magazine article in the early 90s that asked, " Tom Hanks or Tom Cruise?" I picked Tom Hanks. 30 years later, it's still Tom Hanks. You can grow old with this man and live a full life.🥰

It’s still those two. They are both killing it.

Tom Hanks is several orders of magnitude a better actor/person than Tom Cruise.

Tom just took the time to say that he is a veteran. Tom is an incredible guy.

Man how things have changed lol

I'm going to puke if I listen to these perverts a minute longer. It is unbelievable conning. They play you and you can't see it. Open your mind and see

Great actor who NEEDS to learn to keep his opinions to himself more and NOT talk about things he has NO CLUE about

TOM served. TOM is the top notch guy.

Hollywood execs and producers... "How do you want this kid to talk?" Tom Hanks... "If he's playing a young me why don't I talk the way he does!" The man is a legend.

Tom Hanks is an amazing actor. His remembering Michaels name makes him a kind man. Him mentioning that Michael is a vet makes Tom Hanks a great man

Tom hanks feels like an uncle to me. A favorite uncle that is. I just have so much respect,admiration and love for him it’s unexplainable. My absolute favorite actor,he’s in most of my favorite movies and on top of all that - he’s such a likable,amazing person.

My goodness, every single part of this show is perfect. Graham always is prepared for the questions and conversations, doesn't let one person dominate, and the guests always feel at home.

Tom Hanks always brings Joyful stories. That shortfilm Oscar guy had you laughing as well. Love it when Americans take pokes at and brings humanness to British normalcy of Arrogance values. 🤣 Host was having a ball too

6:01 It's always nice to have someone else list your accomplishments to others. Very sweet of Peter Capaldi to've done that.

Unforgettable film, I have a huge affection for Forrest Gump, one of the films that most marked me as a teenager. Wonderful soundtrack.

Tom Hank's is awesome. One of my favorite actors. Truly a class act.

I swear, The Graham Norton Show blows away anything we have in the States. He gets all of the best actors and he is able to get the best out of them.

I agree. I like Conan and I liked Letterman but that’s about it.

This is absolutely the best talk show, period. From Canada 🇨🇦

@John G you must be an la galaxy fan LOL, such a waste of life LOL, SAY NO PLZ

Tom Hanks a TRUE talented, amazing actor. Love him and all he does.

No matter how I feel about Hanks' politics, he has been immensely entertaining and what he has done to accurately portray soldiers in WWII is something for which I will always applaud him.

The way the 3 of them just, improvised that short bit and pulled it off... true talent! 4:45

I love how Tom Hanks plays along so well with the British self-deprecating humour and all the guests ragging on each other. Not all Yanks 'get it' but he certainly does

Tom Hanks is a national treasure. End of discussion.

Agreed.

Does anybody knows where is tom hanks now ?

He should be Sir Tom Hanks. He is a better man than many of our knights

@Edgar Allan Poe when aliens get here, their first words will be ''We want Tom Hanks' autograph''

Even in the UK :-P

If Forrest Gump didn’t have the accent the movie wouldn’t be what it was today

@Fuz Capp yep

You saw it today??????

I love Tom hanks, what a fantastic actor! Very funny & such a humble man too

É por isso e outras coisitas mais, que amo Tom Hanks !!! ❤ 😉 💪🏻

Awesome show. Graham Norton gets out the best stories from his guests. I also love the fact that most of the guests on the couch I probably meeting for the very first time in their lives but he makes them all get along

man that accent really made the movie that much better.

I'm your 4.6 k like!

Tu. Beset tu sanediane uk. Tu ne be sa. Tu sanidiane be koboye uk stop

@Leslie you have now

Will D. That is NOT a typical Southern accent. I have lived in Mississippi my entire 39 years. Never heard anything like it in my life.

Wow...such a nice interaction. What a great selection of people...!! Tom Hanks is Gold.

No talk show host in the world can ever come close to how amazing graham is what a guy

Since he never strained his voice to do Forest's voice, then it's understandable that he can do it 30 years later.

Tom Hanks is such an actor! He is such an artist! He is such a generous soul! He is such an amazing human being! He is such a man!

"My daddy makes grease." That is such a priceless behind-the-scenes story from FORREST GUMP.

I'm guessing that inspired Bubba's list of things to do with shrimp.

This clip is brilliant! 10.0/10.0

"lip... stick."

+Kristin Boutwell I do not agree with calling a Southern Drawl an accent. I have one as a native Texan, and sometimes get picked on because of it.

Tom Hanks is a great actor and a very funny man, he's just incredible in every thing he does and I've heard he's a very decent man which is not quite common in the movie buisness

What a remarkable talent. He has thrilled my heart so many times.

Tom Hanks is the greatest American of all time. He's got the British humour

Welcome to the Machine all American 🗽 😁

I love how this show gets so many great people on the couch at once that I might not even notice my favorite person in the corner while I'm listening to the other one talk!

Tom Hanks, the closest thing to American Royalty.

@Kerry Sullivan no, u

NOT

@Elizabeth Reynolds and Tom's mom has Portuguese blood too, hence the dark, curly hair he sported when he did 'BOSOM BUDDIES '!

@Rikesh Patel in theory, yes. But it seems many in Congress (and until recently the presidency) think of themselves as royalty, and think the public exists to serve their own interests.

Tom Hanks is an actor that you don't want to see grow old. He is defiantly one of my all time favourite actors of all time, maybe the favourite.

Tom hanks is such a class act after making some of the greatest movies in history, hes still such a friendly loving guy great man

My all time favourite film as a kid , way before I knew it was going through actual American history, then I was mind blown , greatest film ever made in my opinion, love from Uk 🇬🇧 x

Hanks and Capaldi need to do a film... something really surreal, like a Terry Pratchett movie or A Fish Called Wanda-style movie. These are incredible men!

I love how he knew the kids name and what he went on to do without having to think about it

Thank you young Micheal for giving us the perfect Forrest Gump voice! Could not imagine the character any other way

Capaldi's the best wingman ever. "He won the hearts of the nation when he swam the Channel for charity."

Tom, your definitely at the very top of just a few of the most important actors of all time, and you truly seem to be a normal, decent, humble person, that's what makes you amazing.

What did we do to deserve Tom Hanks?

Hello friend

Well, Jimmy Stewart and Henry Fonda moved on to other things, but their work still needed to be done...

he was not the celebrity we deserve, but he was the celebrity we needed

We were given Tom Hanks as an early apology for knowing we were also getting Beiber 20 years later

Bountyhunter55x That explains why he has aged so well

Gotta love Tom Hanks , such a brilliant actor. So many great movies

Tom Hanks is a great, interesting conversationalist...so natural & genuinely likable!

I love how while they're talking to David you just hear Graham laughing his head off in the background.

Tom Hanks is so charming and classy. Thanks for all the great films.

Something as small as Tom asking "Why don't I just talk the way he talks right now?" probably made that kid way more comfortable at the time.

That was genius.

When an adult behaves like an adult it truly can be wonderful. Thank you, Tom Hanks for behaving as an adult.

@Nikunj Dixit It would never have worked. Glad Tom could see that. And he is such a nice guy the kid probably had a blast hanging with Tom.

@Joe Casson It could have meant in general. I mean he was a 7 year old kid. It must have been a lot more comfortable for him to just talk the way he talks instead of having to adjust to another way of speaking.

Capaldi should have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "In the Loop." He was hilarious in that!

Man I love Tom Hanks. Such a genuine nice guy and great actor.

4:26 The whole David Walliams "Have you been to the Oscars?" is freaking hilarious. Hanks and Capaldi going on and on ad-lib had me in stitches.

Got to love Tom Hanks, he restores faith in humanity.

Tom Hanks is a special human. Kind and in the moment. He can do no wrong

Who else is stuck in the never ending loop of The Graham Norton show 👀 again....

The kind of movie I could enjoy not once, but many times over the years. Great performance.

I'm still watching GNS show each week , but the dynamics are so different when they're sitting apart. It's so much fun watching these guys fall all over each other laughing.

You cannot trust people who don't love Tom Hanks. He's the loveliest person in the world. I could squeeze that man. He's a global treasure

@RMM MM He was making a joke, you realize.

He was rude againts the no oscar winner man jajaja.

@Joe Casson how do you know this? Have you met him before?🤔🤔

I'd hug him so tight if I met him.

Tom Hanks is a treasure. And i love the movie Forrest Gump so much, it's basically a feel-good movie that balances tragedy/darkness with innocence and joy in a perfect way.

Tom Hanks is awesome and the banter between was beyond awesome. Kudos to Graham for just let it flow.

Most talented actor ever! Forrest Gump is a masterpiece!

this shows how talented Tom is.. Director said to let the kid adjust to him but he said he will adjust to the kid instead ..

Could listen to Hanks reminisce for hours. Just so witty and likeable.

Respect to Hanks for mentioning "Young Forest Gump's" military service.

I love that the kept contact with that little boy, he knows he's a veteran etc... Tom Hanks is a good man.

Very interesting yes I watched Forest Gump several times it was one of my favorite movies. The name Jones Smith and Jackson are very popular names but Gump is also probably a popular name also. There are probably alot of people in the world that could have the same name Kurtis Gump. I am a big fan of Forest Gump and alot of people out there complain about a person's name Why Why Why. I'm actually disabled myself and have a major disability. Great talent Forest Gump was always the best in every movie I have seen

I really feel Tom Hanks should have 3 Oscars. I think he should have won for Cast Away

He was so good as Walt Disney, Emma Thompson was fantastic too

Saving private Ryan too

Not many actors have such range. From wacky comedy to serious drama. So many great roles. I am reminded of the range of Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam to Good Will Hunting.

Saving private Ryan actually would be his third in a road. It was too much for the academy but diserved if you think about it.

I’m a big fan of Tom Hanks, but there’s a particular episode of Dr. Who that bumped Peter Capaldi ahead of him on my list. Credit to the writers who scripted a masterpiece, but Capaldi delivered it brilliantly. Great interview here. These guys seem like good old, regular Joes underneath the fame and fortune.

Wow. Pretty cool interview. I like how the host just sits back and let the celebrities chat and clown around without asking silly questions. Wish they had shows like this in the states.

Interesting how Michael became a veteran like Forest did. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his own shrimping boat, or becomes a ping pong expert, or marries his childhood sweetheart, or travels the whole US on foot.

But don't wish he would get a deceased wife like forest did

Peter is so nice and he played the Doctor dead serious. Awesome actor.

Para mi sin Lugar a duda un grandísimo actor que quedara para la posteridad... mi admiración como actor y persona "Tom Hank" !!

Tom Hanks is a class act, really funny too

Tom Hanks just comes across as the nicest guy. I dreamt I met him once and he was utterly charming.

I caught myself thinking we dont have any classical oldschool actors anymore- you know like Gene Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Carey Grant to name a few and then I look at Tom Hanks and I just hope that one day he will be remembered like those legends of film history. Big big love to you Tom

tom hanks is hilarious.

The Meme King Of Bel Air It's the laziest comment i've ever made and it's the one with the highest amount of likes.

+Tracy Sanders this

His Christian sense of humour is amazing, as are his Hindu sporting skills and his Zoroastrian maths abilities ;)

I love seeing the collapsed comments on YouTube sometimes: "tom hanks is hilarious." "View all 62 replies" "see that's just ignorant. The Democrats didn't run the KKK. Kkk were Democrats that's a difference. But now the KKK along with some other alt right groups are run by the republicans." WHOA! What happened there??

cr0nosphere lutenant dain

Every time I hear Tom's voice, I can't stop thinking of Toy Story, Polar Express, Cast Away, Big, Forrest Gump, and some other movies! He's the best!

Tom Hanks is my favourite actor of all time. He does something truly special and unique trough his acting. Truly talented one of a kind actor.

I love Tom Hanks as an actor he has been great in portraying the character. What made me wonder was how he reacted to Ricky Gervais. It needed to be said. Hollywood is sick. To deny that is to not be real. We need reality with humor and and good storyline. I'm sure that it annoyed many but to learn to laugh and move on and improve is evolution.

"Have you ever won anything?" Hanks is a savage! lol

Love how genuinely impressed Tom is when Peter said David had swam the channel, proves he's not a stuck up hollywood actor like some are :D what a legend

CitizenDemon has a little

after reading all the comments Tom Hanks is our Jimmy Stewart. All of his roles are a work in art. Doesn't matter your age, talent trumps that.

All three of them are superb in this.... each enjoying the other's comedy and stories and playing along. Brilliant TV and a host that knows when to just let them get on with it.

I don't care if David hasn't got an Oscar...he's still hilarious

Could listen to Tom's stories all day

I'm a simple man. I see Tom Hanks, I press like button

True

Yep lol

It's called "brainwashed", as well.

Thomas Wilson WILSON!!!

Simple as life

My heart lit up when he still manages to pull off the Forest Gump voice.
