He may be one of the most famous actors in the world.
But Tom Hanks was upstaged by his very hunky bodyguard as he arrived in Sydney on Monday.
The 69-year-old Toy Story star, who is in Australia to film the sequel to his 2020 World War II movie Greyhound, was flanked by a muscular tattooed member of his security team, who worked hard to keep the Hollywood icon shielded from crowds.
The strapping security guard cut a striking figure in a fitted black T-shirt, which showcased his heavily tattooed and impressively muscular arms.
Meanwhile, Tom opted for an all-black ensemble, comprising a zipped-up jacket paired with matching trousers and dress shoes.
He completed his look with quirky oval-framed prescription glasses while his short grey hair gave him a refined air.

He had his hands full with a black briefcase while a satchel was draped across his body.
This is Tom’s second trip to Australia in several years, as he was here in 2020 to film his role as Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann’s epic movie Elvis.
During his stay on Queensland’s Gold Coast, the Hollywood star hired Brisbane-based Aaron Teece to be his personal chef.
At the time, the internationally renowned cook, who owns Studio Neon Catering, revealed the Aussie dishes that the Castaway star fell in love with during his stay.
‘He loves a good homemade meat pie, loves Vegemite and now Oomite too,’ Aaron told the Courier Mail.
Oomite is an all-natural savoury spread that has been billed as an all-natural, preservative-free version of Vegemite.
Aaron explained his main job was simply cooking the Oscar winner some hearty dinners.
The renowned chef, who has cooked for the likes of Lady Margaret Thatcher, the Queen, Kate Moss and Keira Knightley, shared a selfie with the Academy Award winner, his daughter Elizabeth and other members of his team.

In 2020, the couple tested positive for Covid-19 and were hospitalised for several days in Queensland
He called the Academy Award winner and his family ‘legendary’ in the caption of his post.
Aaron said: ‘You are all by far the most humble, friendly, easy-going clients I have ever had the pleasure of working with.’
‘I was working as his private chef so usually just home-cooked meals after a long day at work,’ he said.
Aaron also explained that the actor and his daughter Elizabeth, who accompanied him Down Under, mainly stayed at their apartment during their time in Australia.
He said: ‘It was all long hours at the studio and unfortunately due to being harassed by the public every time they left the apartment they chose not to go out if it wasn’t essential’.
‘Thank you for welcoming me into your home over the past four months and for all the good times. Glad to hear you got home safe. See you again soon,’ he added.
Tom travelled to Australia with his wife Rita Wilson to film Baz Luhrmann’s biopic.
In 2020, the couple tested positive for Covid-19 and were hospitalised for several days in Queensland.
They continued their recovery in quarantine before flying home to Los Angeles.
