Celebrity wedding crashing is all the rage. From Taylor Swift to Beyoncé, a slew of A-listers have surprised unsuspecting couples on one of the biggest days of their lives. Since it’s such a kind gesture, it’s no surprise that Mr. Hollywood Nice Guy himself, Tom Hanks, is getting in on the wedding crashing action.

Hanks, 60, was jogging through New York’s Central Park this past weekend when he came upon Elizabeth and Ryan, who were taking their wedding pics. Hanks congratulated the couple before posing for a few shots with them and gallantly kissed the bride’s hand.

This isn’t the first time Hanks has pulled a wedding crash.

Back when he was filming Forrest Gump, in 1993, Hanks got the attention of a woman in Beaufort, S.C., just as she was about to walk into a church to take the plunge. Sitting in his car across the street, Hanks honked his horn until he got the bride’s attention … and when she approached the car, he hopped out, wished her good luck, and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

Later, when Hanks was sent pictures of the newlyweds, he signed one and returned it to them with this inscription: “Congratulations! The only bride more beautiful was the one I married …

I’m just sorry I missed the ceremony! God Bless, Tom Hanks.”

But what would you expect from one of Hollywood’s truly nice guys? Hanks has been setting the Internet aflame with numerous stories of his gregarious fan interactions and generosity of spirit, proving that good truly does exist in the world.

There was the time in 2012 at Hollywood gastropub Stout when he teasingly posed with a fan who reportedly took the actor’s glasses and pretended to be drunk.

When the image went viral, thanks to being posted on Reddit, it inspired a thread thousands of comments long, where others shared their “Hanks is a nice guy” tales.

“This will get buried, but I met Tom Hanks about 15 years ago at Disneyland.

I was waiting after getting off thunder mountain railroad and he walked up and I introduced myself and just mentioned that I really liked his movies. He shook my hand and was very appreciative.

Really nice guy,” wrote flocker 92.

Added thescrapplekid, “Wow, those made me smile. I think I met him [Tom Hanks] when I was about 13 at Typhoon Lagoon … we were on some lazy river tube thing and I looked over and said ‘you look familiar.

’ The guy goes ‘Oh yeah? Who do I look like?’ Dumb me… ‘Uh…Tom….Tom something…Tom… Cruise?’ The guy let out the biggest Tom Hanks movie laugh … man I was f***ing embarrassed.”

Then, in 2013, Hanks met up with superfan Sarah Moretti. Moretti, who is autistic, had crafted a scrapbook of pictures and news clips of Hanks throughout the years.

She finally had the opportunity to share it with him backstage during the Broadway run of his show Lucky Guy, and his reaction was truly delightful, as evidenced by the clip that was shared on YouTube.

“Look how young I used to be!” Hanks exclaimed as he flipped through the scrapbook.

“Oh, sweetie, how wonderful is it to meet you? I love meeting you!”
