Hollywood Star Spotted on Sydney Metro!

shocked siders on Monday when he was spotted riding the Metro in peak hour.

The Hollywood superstar is currently Down Under filming a sequel to his Apple+ epic, Greyhound. 

Hanks attempted to go incognito for the commute in a grey sweater, khaki bucket hat and dark sunglasses. 

However, one eagle-eyed fan recognised the Forrest Gump actor boarding at North Sydney station. 

'I knew as soon as he entered the carriage that it was him, because I have strong facial recognition skills, and his face moves in a very particular rubbery way,' Ann G told North Sydney Living. 

The besotted fan was quick to take a photo of the Saving Private Ryan star after telling her daughter, 'I think that tall guy over there is Tom Hanks.'

Noticing that he caught a fan's attention, Hanks smiled, and the mother and daughter introduced themselves.

The fan told the publication: 'I approached him, and I just said, "Please tell me you ARE Tom Hanks!"'

The box office favourite put a finger to his lips with a grin and said: 'I don't want to be recognised and cause a scene.'

Ann G continued: 'So I whispered, "Can I please have a photo with you?" and he smiled and said, "We need to get out at the next stop, let's do this!"

Hanks got off the train at Barangaroo Station, accompanied by some companions.

According to the report, Hanks' sighting on the Metro happened just hours after the star surprised the staff at The Greg Chappell Cricket Centre in North Sydney.

The A-lister was accompanied by his son, Truman Hanks, 30, who the actor shares with wife Rita Wilson, 69.
