Out and about: Tom Hanks and his loving wife Rita Wilson dined with friends at the upscale Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica on Sunday night.
Tom looked much younger than he did when he was wearing a black jean jacket over a black sweater and matching skinny jeans.
Rita, also 66, brought on the glam in cropped leather pants, a black top and metallic slingback heels.
She completed her look with a studded belt.
Two-time Oscar winner Tom realizes he’s more identified with movies like Forrest Gump, Toy Story, Splash, Saving Private Ryan, and Philadelphia, but there’s one movie he wishes he had more love for.

He said ReelBlend Podcast by CinemaBlend recently: ‘For one reason or another, nobody references Road to Perdition.
“And that was an incredibly important movie for me.”
It’s been over a decade since Tom played the 1931 thug Michael Sullivan in Sam Mendes’ critically acclaimed crime drama, which amassed $183.4 million on a budget of $80 million.
“You’ve got me ‘Don Mustache’ with a hat on,” Hanks joked about his facial hair.
“But you also have two guys who happened to be two of the biggest movie presences in the history of the industry with Jude Law and [Daniel] Craig. Y [my character] they killed both [their characters]!’
Legacy: Two-time Oscar winner Tom has realized he identifies more with movies like Forrest Gump, Toy Story, Splash, Saving Private Ryan and Philadelphia, but wishes Road To Perdition had more love.
He said, “For one reason or another, no one references Road to Perdition, and that was an incredibly important film for me.”
Tom did not receive any nominations for the role, but the late Paul Newman received Oscar and Golden Globe nominations for playing John Rooney and the late Conrad L. Hall won a posthumous Oscar for Best Cinematography.
For me everything is a matter of logic, and the logic of [my character] I think Michael Sullivan is impeccable,” Tom explained.
“The logic of everything he does and how he says it and how he experiences things and sees them for the first time, that’s high country as far as I’m concerned. It doesn’t matter if it’s been seen as a “hit” in quotes, it’s in the spirit of the times and that’s all that matters.
It was Steven Spielberg who originally sent Hanks a copy of Max Allan Collins’ 1998 graphic novel while he was filming Cast Away, and he agreed to play the role after reading David Self’s script.
Tom added that when he dies, he hopes Road to Perdition will be included in film retrospectives of his career.
