Tom Hanks crashing strangers' wedding photos

For years, this two-time Oscar winner has been repeatedly caught crashing strangers' wedding photos — jogging into a Central Park shoot mid-run, posing with delighted couples — and shows no sign of stopping.

The full story

Tom Hanks famously photobombed a couple's Central Park wedding shoot mid-jog in 2016 — one of several weddings he's cheerfully crashed — and tweets found student IDs back to their owners, once reuniting Fordham senior Lauren Whitmore with hers. (The lost gloves he photographs are not part of that; he has called those 'a visual haiku of separation, loss, maybe freedom, maybe loneliness.')

The clues we handed out

— He runs a one-man lost-and-found on social media: 'Lauren! I found your Student ID in the park.'

— He collects vintage typewriters and has been known to give them away.

— His most loyal co-star was a volleyball named Wilson.

— He has played Mister Rogers, Walt Disney, and a slow-running man from Alabama.

— Initials: T.H.
