Tom Hanks recently shared reflections on why he wouldn’t want to relive his 30s, describing that period as a challenging time in life. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Hanks explained that, despite portraying various age groups on screen, he would not choose to revisit that decade. He noted, “The hardest for us was when we were playing 35. That time when your metabolism stops, gravity starts tearing you down, your bones start wearing off. You stand differently.”
Hanks went on to add that he feels in better shape now than he did back then, citing the benefits of having grown children, regular exercise, and the ability to maintain a healthier diet. “You can’t do that when you’re 35. Life is such a burden!” he said, summing up the challenges he associates with that stage of life.
