You’ll be hard to find as big a fan of the Forrest Gump actor as Denise Esposito.

The 23 year old artist dedicated a notebook to the actor filled with beautiful watercolour illustrations depicting Hanks in all of his movie roles.

Here are a few of his most recognisable ones:

 

Turner and Hooch (1989)

 

Forrest Gump (1994)

 

Apollo 13 (1995)

 

Toy Story (1996)

 

You’ve Got Mail (1998)

 

Inferno (2016)

 

The final page depicted a typewriter and the words ‘To be continued…’

Esposito sent the completed notebook to Hanks and the guy not only visited her personally to thank her, he also sent her a typewriter.

 

Accompanying the typewriter was the message: ‘Denise Esposito, Denise Esposito, Denise Esposito… for your lovely book of sketches of – all – those MOVIES…

‘Here is a typewriter to do with whatever you need. Make more art!

‘And many thanks...

‘Tom Hanks’

Nicest. Guy. Ever.

Here’s the video Esposito made of her notebook and meeting with Hanks:
