Hanks explained the challenges of portraying a younger character at 35, noting the physical changes that occur with age. He shared, 'I'm 68 years old. The hardest for us was when we were playing 35. That time where your metabolism stops, gravity starts tearing you down, your bones start wearing off. You stand differently.' He reflects on how these changes make it difficult for actors to authentically depict younger versions of themselves.
Discussing his health, Hanks revealed, 'I think I'm in better shape now. You know why? Because my kids are grown up, I'm getting decent exercise, and I can eat right. You can't do that when you're 35. Life is such a burden!' This highlights how life stages affect one's ability to focus on health and fitness.
He later elaborated on his past health struggles, sharing, 'I'm part of the lazy American generation that has blindly kept dancing through the party and now finds ourselves with a malady. I was heavy. You've seen me in movies, you know what I looked like.' This emphasizes his acknowledgment of past mistakes related to diet and lifestyle choices.
