Tom Hanks had already established himself as a highly regarded actor and was a winner of an Academy Award for the character he played in Philadelphia before he was cast in the role of Forrest Gump. After only a year, he won the Oscar for Best Actor once more, this time for portraying a character who was good-natured but lacked sophistication as he dealt with the difficulties of life in America after World War II.

It came as a surprise to learn that Tom Hanks now works as a vendor at Oakland Athletics baseball games, selling peanuts and hot dogs. It’s worth noting that this isn’t his first time working in a stadium concession booth; he started when he was 14 years old. The unusual circumstances of the 2020 epidemic, in which stadiums are crowded with cardboard cutouts as the teams play, add to the situation’s hilarity.
