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.

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.

STEFON Diggs was spotted with a stunning model friend on the Super Bowl field as his girlfriend Cardi B was missing from the action after their suspected split.
Instagram model Pree – who is reportedly a longtime close companion of the New England Patriots’ wide receiver – was busy posting from her perch at the Super Bowl before Stefon‘s big loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

In a video obtained by blogger Tasha K, Pree can be seen on the Levi Stadium field hours before the game on Sunday.
Stefon, the father of six kids with six different women, was seen standing just yards away in the brief video.
Last night, Pree shared pics from her prime seat watching the game.
She also reposted an official Patriots post about Stefon.
Cardi fueled the flames with her strange interview behavior as well.
When asked by an ESPN reporter if she had a message for Stefon ahead of the matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Cardi simply said, “Good luck,” before turning on her heels and walking away.
Until last night, the WAP rapper had been riding hard for the NFL star on her social media, and cheering along with Pats fans both pre- and post-big games.
As The U.S. Sun exclusively reported, she even dropped over a million dollars on preparations to give Stefon a big celebration this weekend.
“She’s incredibly excited and fully locked in,” a source familiar with the plans said. “This isn’t just about attending the game — it’s about showing up for her man in the biggest way possible and celebrating with everyone they love.”
Cardi and Stefon welcomed their first child together, a baby boy, in November.
STEFON’S LEGAL TROUBLES
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots wide receiver is currently facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault following an alleged incident last December.
Stefon has denied the accusations through his attorney, David Meier.
While the arraignment was originally slated for January, it was pushed back to allow Stefon to participate in the postseason.
Stefon is now scheduled to appear at the Dedham District Court in Massachusetts this Friday, February 13, 2026, at 9:00 am, where he is expected to enter a formal plea.
During this hearing, the judge will determine the conditions of his release, which may include bail, travel restrictions, or a no-contact order.
The allegations stem from a December 16 police report filed by a woman employed as Stefon’s personal chef.
According to Dedham police, the woman was initially “emotional and hesitant” to identify him due to his high public profile.
Court documents allege that Stefon entered her unlocked bedroom and confronted her over a financial dispute regarding unpaid wages.
The situation reportedly escalated, with Stefon allegedly striking her across the face and attempting to choke her with the crook of his elbow when she tried to push him away.

Gabriella admitted to being almost three-and-a-half times over the alcohol limit behind the wheel of her Audi A3.
Taking her good character into account, Crewe Magistrates’ Court court handed Gabriella an order to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.
Now, she has been seen carrying out community service work in The Salvation Army charity shop in Wilmslow.
Donning leggings with a pair of Ugg shoes and a faux fur coat, Gabriella had her hair tied into a ponytail as she helped out.
Looking less than happy to be there, she was snapped scrolling through her phone on the shop floor, before helping out by folding a pair of jeans.
In May, Gabriella was pulled over and instructed to take a road-side breath test while driving, which she refused.
She was then taken to a nearby police station and was found to have 122 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – the UK legal limit being only 35 micrograms.
Crewe Magistrates’ Court was later told how she had approached the scene of a road traffic collision in Wilmslow and “attempted to drive through the police blockade”.
Charlie Hayward, prosecuting, said when officers approached her she was visibly intoxicated and “slurring her words” and “struggling” to stand on her feet.
However, her lawyer Gary Hughes told the court that she was of “hitherto good character” – which played a part in her sentencing of community service and a driving ban.
Gabriella’s stepdad is ex-Manchester United footballerPhil Bardsley.
The influencer appears on ITVX series The Bardsley Bunch alongside her famous parents and younger brothers Rocco, Renz and Ralphi.
Her stepdad Phil began his career at Man Utd before joining Sunderland in 2008.
He also played for the Scottish national team before hanging up his boots for good in 2023.

Molly-Mae Hague accidentally revealed her bump in the reflection of a windowCredit: YouTubeThe influencer shared her happy news with a sweet black and white videoCredit: Instagram
Mollyposted a sweet black and white clip on Instagram filmed on January 23, captioning it: “Soon to be four.”
In the clip, the YouTuber showed off her growing baby bump in a white cropped t-shirt.
But some eagle-eyed fans have said that they spotted Molly’s baby bump last week in her latest vlog.
In the video, Molly wore a black long sleeve top and filmed a clip from her kitchen, in front of a glass refrigerator door.
Her fans were quick to zoom in and spot Molly’s noticeable baby bump in the reflection.
During the same vlog, Molly admitted she was having nose bleeds again, which was common during her first pregnancy with daughter Bambi.
On Thursday, Molly shared a sweet video with Tommy and three-year-old daughter Bambi, who excitedly wore a “big sister” jumper.
Molly expressed her desire to expand her family with Tommy in scenes aired on her Amazon Prime documentary in January.
Molly dropped various clues about her pregnancy before announcing the news, which is said to have strengthened her relationship with boxer Tommy.
A source told The Sun: “Finding out Molly is pregnant has really helped bring them close together again.
“Tommy is determined to do things right this time he has cancelled all of his summer trips with his friends, as he wants to stand by Molly every step of the way.
“Their new home is in a better place for both of them and has more than enough space for two children.”
Molly spoke candidly about hopes to expand her family with boxer Tommy during the first instalment of her Amazon Prime documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which aired to viewers last year.
Opening up about the future, she revealed: “All I want in this life is to be with him, and to have another baby with him, and to grow old as a family. And to live in a nice house together and have a nice life together. That’s all I want.”
Molly explained that after their breakup, she temporarily moved back into her original home while they figured things out.
“When Tommy and I split up I moved back to the original house so I moved for a short amount of time, like not even long enough to tell you guys, and I was just about to tell you but then sadly our relationship ended,” she said.
“It was even more of a hard time than anyone realised because my house was completely empty. I had people coming to view it to rent it. So yeah I moved house and no one knew. So that was all going on among everything. It was a lot of turmoil. It was shambles.”

LOLA Young is single and looking for love after returning to the stage from her career break.
The Londoner triumphed with the Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy on Sunday night for her No1 hit Messy — and she won over even more fans with an emotional performance of the song.

But I can reveal she has well and truly moved on from the subject matter, all about the end of a previous relationship, and has signed up to dating app Raya.
And she has overhauled her life by cutting out booze.
I’ve seen her profile on the high-end matchmaking app, which features a handful of sultry photos, as well as one of her performing, and is linked to her official Instagram account.
But she still has an air of mystery, choosing to leave the “bio” section of her profile blank. It’s a change from September, when she said she was too busy to date.
However, it’s fair to say it’s been a period of a lot of changes for Lola.
She took a four-month break after collapsing on stage in September, and only returned to the spotlight at a pre-Grammys party at the end of last week.
Now she is sober, I’m told industry pals Lily Allen and Sir Elton John, who are also teetotal, have been offering their support.
Lola revealed she had ditched alcohol when asked how she would be celebrating following her Grammys success.
She said: “I am going to have an In-N-Out burger with my manager and everyone. And I’m probably going to go out a little bit.
“I don’t drink, but it’s going to be fun anyway.”
Last year, she revealed she had to check into rehab to tackle a cocaine addiction in 2024, just as Messy was rising up the charts.
Then on her song d£aler, released last summer, she sang about the struggle of “tryna be sober.”
Now it sounds like things are finally looking up for her — and she seems in great spirits.
Speaking about her break, Lola said: “This is a very difficult industry to be in.
I took the time out to get better because there were a lot of things going on in my head, in my personal life, and we constantly have to be protected as artists.
“I had to make the decision to do it for myself — to be kind to myself and give myself space.”
“But now I am back. I feel better.
“I will do as much as I can to be good for my fans and to be good for the people that love me.”
She’s got Teyst

Teyana Taylor was my best-dressed star of the night, and it’s fair to say she probably has the busiest awards season of anyone.
She wore this stunning, sculptural Tom Ford dress but sadly lost out on the Best R&B Album prize for her record Escape Room, with the gong going to Leon Thomas’s Mutt instead.
Still, Teyana will have plenty more wins I’m sure. The multi-talented performer is the favourite to win Best Supporting Actress at the Baftas and the Oscars – after winning the same prize at the Golden Globes – for her role in One Battle After Another.
She joined a load of stars hitting the town, with Justin Bieber spotted in an open hoodie, having earlier performed his song Yukon in just some silver silk boxers.
That wasn’t half as mad k as Lady Gaga performing with a black bird cage on her head though.
Kesha wore an over-the-top head-dress to greet fans, while Miley Cyrus looked chuffed to pose with Bad Bunny.
And Tate McRae, Olivia Rodrigo and Bruno Mars all looked super-stylish as they headed out to the afterparties.
Those celebrity stylists have been working overtime.
All the goss at The Grammys
Cher brought the laughs while announcing Record of the Year – joking it had gone to Luther Vandross, despite the fact he died 21 years agoCredit: GettyKendrick Lamar and SZA, above, whose song Luther samples the soul star’s version of If This World Were Mine, put two and two together and realised they had wonCredit: GettyWinner, Kendrick LamarCredit: Splash
Cher added some laughs to proceedings when announcing the Record of the Year winner, claiming it had gone to Luther Vandross, despite the fact he died 21 years ago.
She got confused when reading out who had won, claiming she thought the name would be on the autocue and she wouldn’t have to open the envelope on stage.
But when she did, she saw the title Luther and said the late singer’s name instead.
Thankfully, winners Kendrick Lamar and SZA, whose song Luther samples the soul star’s version of If This World Were Mine, put two and two together and realised they had won.
And that was a relief, because it was seven more seconds before Cher exclaimed: “No, Kendrick Lamar!”
Sabrina’s tough love

She left the ceremony empty handed despite six nominations, although Sabrina Carpenter still sent pulses soaring during a racy performance of her hit Manchild.
But any new admirers should take note, she has no qualms about spilling the beans on her love life in her music.
Speaking backstage, Sabrina, who wrote her last album Man’s Best Friend about her ex Barry Keoghan, said: “I love really hard. If you f*** with me, there will be consequences.
“I feel pretty transparent going into any of my relationships that I write songs and I think they’re just as down for it.
“Also, most of the time, they’ve been pretty flattered. When they get a song written about them, good or bad, I think they’re just excited to get a shout out.
“I’m not scared of men in that sense. I am scared of men sometimes, but I’m not scared in that sense.
“I will attract exactly who I’m supposed to attract. And again there’s so much conversation around women that are honest and strong and opinionated and determined, focused.”
Winner Tyla will ao A-POP

Tyla celebrated her second Grammy win by announcing her new album will be called A-POP.
She won Best African Music Performance for Push 2 Start, having won the same gong in 2024 for Water.
Speaking backstage, she said: “I wanna announce that my sophomore album drops this summer and it’s called A-POP.”
Asked what fans can expect, she said: “Amazing new music. It’s going to be different. It’s me now. I just grew up… I’m now 24, I feel like a woman.
“I’ve got other things I want to say and other vibes I want to give, so yeah, it’s definitely a different vibe but I’m so excited.”
Charli XCX is a self-proclaimed “365 Party Girl” so I can see why her post-event bash was one of the most star-studded of the evening.
The Saint Laurent-sponsored event took place at Bar Marmont in West Hollywood – the go-to venue for luxury brands – and boasted a guestlist including Demi Lovato, Paris Hilton, Diplo and Rose.
Not so clever, Trevor

Donald Trump has threatened to sue Grammy host Trevor Noah over his jokes about him at the bash.
Noah, inset, said: “Song of the Year – that is a Grammy that every artist wants almost as much as Trump wants Greenland, which makes sense because since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton.”
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!
“I can’t speak for Bill, but I have never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.
“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast.
“Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!” Here we go again . . .
