Tom Hanks reveals that he shaved his head for a role and is not very happy

The 64-year-old actor (very briefly) revealed his new look during an appearance on Tuesday on “The Graham Norton Show”.

Hanks visibly wore a baseball cap during most of that appearance. At one point, he explained that he was currently in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann’s next biopic about Elvis Presley, in which he plays Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

“Let me show you the horrible haircut I need to do to portray Colonel Tom Parker,” said Hanks, while doing everything to hide his unfortunate haircut. “Look at this horrible … Do you see that? Look at that thing?”

Then, for about a second, Hanks bent down and saw his hairless scalp. If you blinked, you may have missed it.

But judging by the screams heard from the audience, everyone saw it.

“I just scared the kids. I want to apologize,” said Hanks.

Although Hanks’ bald look was a surprise to many of his fans, it is not the first time that the actor has exhibited this style.

Before the coronavirus pandemic began (and before he and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, were diagnosed with the virus), Hanks was in Australia doing pre-production work for the same film.
In April, he appeared on “Saturday Night Live” at home and explained what was going on with his hair – or the lack of it.

“Don’t worry now, don’t be afraid,” he told the audience. “This shaved head was just for a movie and my hair is growing very slowly. It saves time in the shower, so I don’t know, maybe we should all do this, huh?”
