Four Golden Globes!”) with a catchy chorus of “Hanks, Hanks, b–ch I’m Tom Hanks.” Since there’s no such thing as too much Tom Hanks, the video for the rap homage also features the famed actor. Not only is the _Forrest Gump_ star’s face slapped into debauched scenes of drugs and strippers, but the video also bedazzles scenes from Hanks’ filmography (like _Big_ and _Bosom Buddies_) with the added sparkle of guns, cocaine and pantsless women. While Hanks has won many accolades over his decades-long acting career, undoubtedly this rap homage will be the highlight. Unless, of course, as the song suggests, it makes him “vom Hanks”. **MORE**: [Tom Hanks on Disneyland’s ‘Mile High Club’](http://entertainment.time.com/2013/12/19/tom-hanks-on-disneylands-mile-high-club/) **MORE**: [Watch Neneh Cherry and Robyn’s Unsettling Video for “Out of the Black”](http://time.com/28900/neneh-cherry-robyn-out-of-the-black/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/30317/tom-hanks-rap-video-of-course-you-want-to-watch-a-rap-video-about-tom/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/30317/tom-hanks-rap-video-of-course-you-want-to-watch-a-rap-video-about-tom/"},"headline":"Of Course You Want To Watch a NSFW Rap Video About Tom Hanks","datePublished":"2014-03-19T19:00:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:07:56.527Z","description":"\"Meg Ryan on my phone, b--ch I'm Tom Hanks\"","url":"https://time.com/30317/tom-hanks-rap-video-of-course-you-want-to-watch-a-rap-video-about-tom/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","rap","viral","Music Video","Tom Hanks"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/30317/tom-hanks-rap-video-of-course-you-want-to-watch-a-rap-video-about-tom/","name":"Of Course You Want To Watch a NSFW Rap Video About Tom Hanks"}}]}] ```
