Tom Hanks' height in 'Cast Away' leaves fans flummoxed
Hanks' varying appearances in different roles has been a source of discussion on social media, with users expressing their fascination.

In 'Forrest Gump', Hanks played the titular character at various stages of his life whereas in 'Cast Away', he portrayed a character who spent years stranded on an island.
Hanks' apparent height difference in these two films was a result of filmmaking techniques, not actual changes in his height.
Another person tweeted about one of Hanks' lesser-known works.
The user stated, "'That Thing You Do!' should have been a big hit, but flew way under the radar... considering it was written & directed by Tom Hanks (also co-starred) while at the height of his fame."
Another fan had tweeted, "It's Saturday night, and Brie and I are doing beer bongs by ourselves and googling Tom Hanks' height."
Meanwhile, a different user raised a more thought-provoking question.
The user asked, "'They' - ah is this the old QAnon gambit - is it still Bill Gates and Tom Hanks as the height of elite evilness?"
