Well, that is if you replace the glass slipper with a student ID and Prince Charming with Tom Hanks. Hanks took to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/tomhanks?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) on Tuesday afternoon to post a picture of Lauren’s lost ID with the caption, “Lauren! I found your Student ID in the park. If you still need it my office will get to you. Hanx.” > [](https://twitter.com/tomhanks/status/651427268712112128) The _Bridge of Spies_ star is no stranger to good deeds being performed through social media. In March, Hanks tweeted that a stranger had returned his missing credit card. > [](https://twitter.com/tomhanks/status/576402620501372928) While Lauren has yet to follow up with “Hanx,” Twitter user [@Unchained\_Mason](https://twitter.com/Unchained%5FMason) replied to say that Lauren is one of his students and he would be happy to help return the ID to her. > [](https://twitter.com/Unchained%5FMason/status/651435011888021504) Others have tweeted less helpful, but very amusing responses. > [](https://twitter.com/DamianSamuels/status/651430056833773568) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4063193/tom-hanks-lost-student-id/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4063193/tom-hanks-lost-student-id/"},"headline":"Tom Hanks Tries to Return a College Student's Lost ID","datePublished":"2015-10-06T18:24:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:25:39.570Z","description":"His office will get it to you","url":"https://time.com/4063193/tom-hanks-lost-student-id/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Social Media","celebrities","twitter","Actors","Students","College Students","Tom Hanks"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"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/4063193/tom-hanks-lost-student-id/","name":"Tom Hanks Tries to Return a College Student's Lost ID"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Bridge of Spies _ Official HD Trailer #1 _ 2015","description":"Bridge of Spies _ Official HD Trailer #1 _ 2015","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Y7S6wqtf/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-07-08T18:49:50.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Y7S6wqtf.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4063193/tom-hanks-lost-student-id/","duration":"PT2M56S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4063193/tom-hanks-lost-student-id/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
