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:
