Tom Hanks gifts typewriter to a fan

Actor Tom Hanks has gifted a typewriter to a fan who drew sketches of him.

The actor surprised Denise Esposito with a gift on Wednesday, reports dailymail.co.uk.

Hanks included a personal note to the artist, which read: "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."

Esposito told the website LAist she met the "Sully" actor -- who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House earlier this week -- at the Rome Film Festival in October.

 

She had managed to present his publicist with a sketchbook she put together depicting him in his movies.

In September, the actor crashed a wedding in Central Park, New York, while out jogging and posed for selfies with the happy couple. Also, in 2012, a set of photographs emerged showing Hanks posing with a fan who was pretending to be passed out drunk in a North Dakota restaurant.
