Tom Hanks has some bad news for those in their mid-30s, as the iconic actor claims 35 is “the hardest” age.
The Forrest Gump star – who portrays himself at different ages in his latest film, Here – got candid about the negative side effects he suffered at age 35 during an interview with Entertainment tonight on Friday.
While promoting his upcoming film, he said, “Look, I’m 68 years old, the hardest thing for us was when we played 35.
“That’s when your metabolism shuts down, gravity starts to break you down, your bones start to wear down, you stand differently — I think I’m in better shape now,” he admitted.
When told he looked “good,” the actor said, “You know why? Since my children are grown, I get decent exercise and can eat well. You can’t do that anymore when you’re 35. Life is such a burden!’

This – which opened in theaters on November 1 – also stars Robin Wright, Kelly Reilly, Leslie Zemeckis, Paul Bettany and Ophelia Lovibond.
Hanks previously co-starred with Wright in the 1994 comedy/romance Forrest Gump, in which he played the eponymous character and she played his childhood friend-turned-lover.
According to an official description, Here follows the story of “multiple generations of couples and families living in the same house over the course of a century.”
In a creative mix of traditional makeup effects and digital de-aging, both Hanks and Wright transition seamlessly between their teenage selves and their 80-year-old counterparts throughout the film’s extended timeline.
In addition to Here, several of Hanks’ films feature digitally altered versions of the actor.
A CGI version of the actor appears in the 2004 computer-animated Christmas film The Polar Express, and he was digitally de-aged using AI technology in scenes from 2022’s A Man Called Otto.
As for Hanks’ appearance, he recently warned fans that ads using his likeness are not real.
Instead, they were generated by artificial intelligence.

Tom and Robin got older in the new Here trailer released on Wednesday. It’s been thirty years since the two starred in the iconic film Forrest Gump
The revelation comes almost a year after Tom issued fans a similar warning about a fake dentist advert that misused his likeness
A CGI version of Hanks appears in the 2004 computer-animated Christmas film The Polar Express, and he was digitally de-aged using AI technology in scenes from 2022’s A Man Called Otto.
He took to his Instagram in August to let his 9 million followers know that viral commercials selling “miracle cures and miracle cures” were created using AI technology — without his permission.
“There are several advertisements on the Internet in which my name, likeness and voice are falsely used to promote miracle cures and cures. These ads were created without my consent, fraudulently and via AI,” the star’s post read.
‘I have nothing to do with these messages, the products, the treatments or the spokespersons who promote these medicines.’
Tom emphasized that he works exclusively with his “board-certified physician” to treat his type 2 diabetes.
