Tom Hanks was spotted riding New York City’s subway, blending in behind a face mask and casual layers. Witnesses said the two-time Oscar winner kept to himself on an uptown 6 train, dressed in a green beanie, jacket and sweater vest. The sighting follows other recent low-key trips by the actor on public transport, reinforcing his reputation for skipping celebrity fanfare. Photos shared online showed Hanks looking directly at the camera in one frame while gripping a handrail in another. Hanks joins a list of Hollywood names who have embraced the subway at times, including Harrison Ford, Calista Flockhart, John Leguizamo, Katie Holmes, Ron Howard and Kevin Bacon. On the work front, he is set to reprise the voice of Woody in “Toy Story 5” and is reportedly gearing up for a potential sequel to his 2020 WWII drama “Greyhound.”
