The Funny Story Behind Why Tom Hanks Has Been Gifting The White House New Coffee Makers For Years



It’s hard being a celebrity in this day and age, as public scrutiny can be high. However, if you’re an actor like Tom Hanks, you’re still a beloved star and continue to make quality films. It probably won’t surprise fans to know Tom Hanks has just as big a heart as many of his characters. The Catch Me If You Can actor recently revealed a funny story that would certainly suggest that’s the case. Apparently, he has an interesting tradition, which has seen him gifting the White House coffee makers for a while.

Yes, you read that correctly. In true Mr. Rogers fashion, the Asteroid City actor has been partaking in that good deed every four years. You would probably never expect it, but Tom Hanks revealed to ETalk that he has been providing the White House Press Corps with coffee makers for over two decades, and there’s a specific reason for that:

There’s always somebody on duty in the White House, no matter who the president is, right? That was it. We were there visiting with George W. Bush when George W. Bush was president and there’s always someone there in case something happens and they had the saddest little old Mr. Coffee. It looked like it was already 27 years old.
