Tom Hanks is almost inexplicably loveable. He’s our beloved Hollywood dorky dad and there is a widespread attitude towards him as if he is a sacred being.
Who could blame us? I mean look at this guy!
Even Obama gets it.
Well, if wholesome Tom Hanks content is what you came for, then fear not, because wholesome Tom Hanks content is what we’ve got.
Sony Pictures tweeted the first look at Hanks playing Mister Rogers in an upcoming film and he is quite possibly the most adorable sweetheart Grandpa that we ever did see.

Mister Rogers (AKA Fred Rogers), was a beloved American TV personality and icon who rocked this signature outfit, and the red sweater, taupe trousers and blue plimsoll shoes look absolutely dapper on Grandpa Hanks.
The film is untitled as of yet but being developed under the name You Are My Friend, or, as I shall be referring to it from here on out, The Grandpa Hanks Looking Like A Big Old Cutie Movie. It has a ring to it.

In conclusion, Tom Hanks is adorable and we love him in his final form as cutie-pie Grandpa Hanks enough to absolutely see whatever this movie ends up being called.
