Does Tom Hanks have a child with special needs?
His only daughter that we know about is Elizabeth Hanks (born 1982).
Tom and I smoked some Kush when he was making that goofy movie about the Southern hick with polio (life is like a box of chocolates -- how lame!). Anyway, I was crewing on that trawler where he did the scene with the war vet who had no lower torso. Tom invited me over to his trailer during takes, while they were doing the lights, and he took out a bong and some Kush. We got so stoned the director had to call it quits for the day. Tom kept saying, "Where's my car, dude?" Oh, wait a minute, I may have the wrong guy. Actually, I think I smoked that bong with Ashton.
