Tom Hanks has recently appeared on "The Graham Norton Show". The actor was asked about a viral photo of Bill Murray crying like a baby, which recently confused the internet because of the "Captain Phillips" actor's astonishing resemblance to the "Ghostbusters" star in the picture.
Hanks admitted that he and Murray did look alike. "I've been doing a pale imitation of Bill Murray for most of my career," he told host Graham Norton.
However, the actor assured Norton that it's not him in the picture. "I know that it's not me, because I didn't take that picture. That is not me," he explained.
Norton insisted that it really looks like him. Hanks responded, "I could make that face."
He then recreated the image, wearing an orange jumper with two other guest stars, Gemma Arterton and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, posing as the child's mother and the crying baby.
The original image showed the child's mother, Laura DiMichelle-Ross, holding her crying nine-month-old son, Alexander, with Murray copying the baby's tortured expression. The image was posted on Facebook three years ago after the Ross family met Murray on a golf course at St. Andrew's in Scotland. The image soon triggered a debate about whether the infant was bawling over Tom Hanks, despite the caption clearly saying it was Murray.
