A HOLLYWOOD A-lister stunned locals when he was spotted shopping at a cricket supplies store.
This twice Oscar-winning actor, 69, was seen browsing a store in Australia, with staff at the shop admitting that they “didn’t recognise him” at first.
The star in question is movie megastar, Tom Hanks.
The much-loved actor looked worlds away from his famous film roles as he browsed a cricket shop in Sydney.
The Forrest Gump star looked happy and relaxed as he posed for a photo with the delighted shop staff, who couldn’t believe their eyes.
Tom was dressed casually in just a grey T-shirt and black trousers, and was stood with his son Truman, 29.
The gob-smacked shop workers shared the picture on Instagram of them with Tom, and penned: “Not your usual walk-in customer…
“We’re used to serving cricket royalty, but yesterday at GCCC North Sydney, we welcomed Hollywood royalty, with Tom Hanks and his son Truman stopping by the store.
“From Baggy Greens to big screens, you never know who’ll walk through the doors at GCCC.”
The shop’s followers went wild for the pic, with one person writing: “How exciting – well done for capturing the moment.
Tom is often spotted out and about with the general public, despite his star status.
Last autumn he was spotted taking a subway train in New York.
He even slipped a few dollars to a street musician before heading off into the crowd.
Tom shot to fame in the 80s and was known for comedies like Big, Splash and Turner & Hooch.
In the 90s he became well known for romantic comedies like Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail, both of which he starred alongside Meg Ryan.
However, he went on to win two Oscars when he switched to more serious roles.
Tom won his first Academy Award for Philadelphia in 1994, and then for Forrest Gump the year after.
The star’s other big roles include Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away.
Despite being known as one of the kindest actors in Hollywood, fans will be surprised to hear that Mr Hanks previously admitted to being a diva on set.
He even compared himself to the stroppy character in his 2023 movie The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece.
Tom said: “I’ve had my tough days trying to be a professional when my life has been falling apart in more ways than one and the requirement for me that day is to be funny, charming and loving – and it’s the last way I feel.”
Away from the cameras, Tom is happily married to wife Rita Wilson, who he shares his son Truman with.
