And there we were, moments later.”

“another trip to Europe?! awww…Dad, do we have too…?”
LOL
Truman is cute! This is only the third time I have seen him. I’m surprised he’s 11 already!

He looks like a clone of his father.

Who is the mother of Colin Hanks, is it Rita?
Sarah’s note: No, his mother was Samantha Lewes., Tom’s first wife who he left to be together with Rita. She passed away from bone cancer 5 years ago.

Don’t they also have another son named Colin? He’s a pretty good actor himself and has been in movies like Orange County.
Sarah’s note: He has Colin and a daughter Elizabeth also, but they are not with Rita.

Chester’s VERY handsome (and he does look less than enthusiastic to be there-typical teen, lol!), but wow, Sarah-is it true that Tom actually left Samantha for Rita? I always assumed he divorced Samantha and either became involved with Rita after the divorce or during their separation and divorce proceedings. If he actually left his wife and two older kids for Rita, that alters my impression of him. Maybe he’s not such a Mr. Nice Guy after all…
Sarah’s note: Yeah. He feels bad about it as well. If you can find his Esquire interview from last year, that’s where he talks about it.

Sorry, take back my comments about the boy in the photos being Chester-I read too quickly and didn’t see that the boy in the photo is Truman.

LOL at his expression. The event has about 4 hours of ceremony but the actual race (3 minutes?) and the craziness afterwards are muy exciting! Definitely makes the wait worth it (maybe not for a pre-teen though).

Tom really is a good guy. I watched the A&E biography on him and the people interviewed were saying that he and his first wife had already been having a lot of problems before Rita. Samantha was depressed, and it was never mentioned that he ever cheated on her. So it comes as a surprise to me if he did.
And I also know that when she she was sick with her cancer, Tom arranged for her to get the best care in hospitals and he kept the whole family close so his kids could be with their mother.
Sarah’s note: Yes, they all remained close and he was very good to Samantha otherwise. I had never even heard of how their marriage ended until I read the Esquire article. He obviously felt awful at the circumstances.

My film professor at the University of Florida is also director in California, and he once stated that of all the actors and actresses he’s ever met, Tom Hanks is “the greatest guy”.
And his son is really cute, he looks a lot like Rita but has Toms great eyes!
Love his curls!

Truman looks about as thrilled as I did as a child on vacation with the parents.
July 13th, 2007 at 12:35 pm
Actually, I believe both Truman and Chester are Tom and Rita’s. Colin & Elizabeth are with his first wife.
Sarah’s note: Right.
