this pic is hilarious already, but here is the back story:


































the fella in the white doesn’t know tom hanks, never met never will


































tom was sitting at the bar with his friend having a few beers, when he noticed this guy passed out, he went over to see if he was ok noticed the guy’s mobile phone was on the table shot off a few pics and left the guy passed out and put the phone in the guys pocket


































seriously can you imagine finding this on your phone after a drunken night out ???











































































































































however, the original reddit post suggested that (contrary to the example text reproduced above) the other party in the pictures was not a passed-out drunk who was unaware that hanks was snapping photographs of him with his cell phone, but rather a fan who ran into hanks at a restaurant and deliberately pretended to be drunk while posing for some amusing snapshots with a compliant celebrity.
