LOS ANGELES, July 9 ― On the 9th of July Hollywood legend Tom Hanks celebrates his birthday.

Tom rose to fame in the 80s and has kept his career so solid he's still one of the most respected actors out there, having won two Oscars in a row in the mid 90s.

Sadly, on of the roles, for the film “Philadelphia” required him to lose a lot of weight, which he did again in 2000 for “Cast Away”, which could be the root cause of his diabetes. As such, Hank's probably won't be having too much cake on his special day.

But that doesn't mean he won't be celebrating. He's likely to be with his two granddaughters, three sons, one daughter and loving wife Rita Wilson.

Happy birthday Tom. ― Cover Media
