Man who believes Tom Hanks is time traveller wrote to him – and he ‘replied’

The bloke who believes that Tom Hanks is a time traveller wrote to the megastar actor about it . . . and the actor responded back.

Yesterday (August 6), the Daily Star exclusively revealed that American Chris Lopez claimed the actor was a time traveller and met his grandfather in World War Two with photographic evidence to back it up.

Lopez found a photo of someone appearing to be the spitting image of the 67-year-old actor and director in his grandfather's war memorabilia.

The Retired Corpsman for the United States Navy took to Facebook to post the picture in a popular time travel Facebook group in 2020, but the images have now resurfaced.

He claimed the images were taken in around 1944-45 while they were stationed on the island of Tinian in the South Pacific – part of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

And speaking to the Daily Star about his grandfather Mitchell Markow, who was a Pharmacist Mate Second Class (Corpsman), he said: “I asked him about the guy in the photo before he passed away. “He couldn't remember the guys name.”

However, in a mad twist to the saga, Chris actually wrote to Tom Hanks about it – and got a reply.

The letter, which the Daily Star has seen, appears to have Tom's actual signature on it, but we've reached out to his team for verification.

Chris said: “I actually sent a copy of the pic to Tom Hanks to ask if his dad or uncles were in the war.

“He wrote me back and said his uncle was a sailor during WW2 but was nowhere near the South Pacific – he thanked me for the photo.

“He typed it on a weird card, and it had several typos.

“Later I found out Tom collects old fashioned typewriters, so that made sense.”

The letter from Tom was written on January 15, 2014, and in it he claims that the photo is “un-canny”.

He goes on to explain how his dad and uncle did fight in the war as part of the US Navy, but were never in Tinian.

He added: “My dad was a Mach8inst First Mate and hated every moment he was in the service (sic).”

Despite the initial excitement over the photo, Chris does acknowledge that Tom is probably not a time traveller.

The Daily Star has contacted representatives of Tom Hanks.
