Tom Hanks has bad news for people in their mid-thirties, as the iconic actor claims that being 35 is ‘the hardest’ age.
The Forrest Gump star — who portrays himself at various different ages in his latest film, Here — got candid about the negative side affects he had at 35 during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Friday.
While promoting his upcoming movie he said, ‘Look, I’m 68 years old, the hardest for us was when we were playing 35.
‘That’s time where your metabolism stops, gravity starts tearing you down, your bones start wearing off, you stand differently — I think I’m in better shape now,’ he admitted.
In response to being told he looked ‘good’ the actor said, ‘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!’

Here — which hit theaters on November 1 — also stars Robin Wright, Kelly Reilly, Leslie Zemeckis, Paul Bettany and Ophelia Lovibond.
Hanks previously acted alongside Wright in the 1994 comedy/romance Forrest Gump, in which he played the eponymous character and she played his childhood friend–turned–lover.
According to an official description, Here follows the story of ‘multiple generations of couples and families who inhabit the same home over the course of a century.’
In a creative blend of traditional makeup effects and digital de-aging, both Hanks and Wright seamlessly transition between their teenage selves and their 80-year-old counterparts throughout the film’s expansive timeline.
In addition to Here, several of Hanks’ films have featured digitally altered versions of the actor.
A CGI version of the actor appears in the 2004 computer-animated Christmas film The Polar Express, and he was digitally de-aged using AI technology in scenes from 2022’s A Man Called Otto.
On the subject of Hanks’ appearance, he recently warned his fans that advertisements using his likeness are not genuine.
Instead, they were generated by artificial intelligence.

Tom and Robin were de-aged in the new trailer for Here released on Wednesday. It has been 30 years since the two starred in iconic film Forrest Gump
The revelation comes nearly a year after Tom issued a similar warning to fans about a fake dental ad that misused his likeness

He took to his Instagram in August to let his 9 million follower know that viral commercials selling ‘miracle cures and wonder drugs’ were created using AI technology — without his permission.
‘There are multiple ads on the internet falsely using my name, likeness, and voice to promote miracle cures and wonder drugs. These ads have been created without my consent, fraudulently, and through AI,’ the star’s message read.
‘I have nothing to do with these posts, the products, the treatments, or the spokespeople touting these cures.’
Tom emphasized that he exclusively collaborates with his ‘board-certified doctor’ for the management of his type 2 diabetes.
