Tom Hanks Made A Breakfast Mistake Before Going Skydiving; 'I Begged Her To Stop'

Ooh, well this doesn't sound like it's going to end well for Mr. Hanks. He had to have known he was going skydiving that day, why would he eat such a bad meal?

Although we have to give it to him! Not many people his age would even think about doing it, so good for him!

So we know that Tom Hanks is America's sweetheart...

But did you know he was also a bit of a daredevil?

The other day he was on Ellen, promoting his new movie A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood.

You know, the one where he plays Mr. Rogers?

Anyways, so while he was promoting his movie, he told a story about how he went skydiving with his son, Chet.

However, he made the mistake of eating a large breakfast beforehand.

He said to Ellen:

“She was doing this thing of swinging us around and I had had a huge breakfast burrito before the plane went off. So I begged her [to stop]. I just had to sit there for seven minutes waiting for my stomach to calm down [after]."

But there's one thing both us and Tom Hanks can take solace in:

He at least enjoyed his breakfast:

“It was a damn good burrito though, it was really good.”

Check out A Beautiful Day In The Neighbourhood in theatres now.
