Tom Hanks Is A Big 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' Fan, And Patrick Stewart Has Made A Wild Claim About His Love For The Franchise

Celebrities: they're just like us. That's what we hear all the time, anyway – but it isn't until a celebrity like Patrick Stewart writes a book and outs actor Tom Hanks as a massive fan of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" that we fully recognize the depths of that reality. Yes, one of America's greatest actors is a fan of "TNG" and a pretty big one based on a wild claim made by Stewart.

"Making It So: A Memoir" is making headlines for various reveals from the actor, and this latest is a doozy. When discussing famous fans of "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Patrick Stewart name-checks Oscar-winner Tom Hanks, who apparently watches a lot of "TNG." So much so that he can do something pretty impressive.
