Tom Hanks has some bad news for people in their 30s, as the iconic actor claims that being 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 had at age 35 during an interview with Entertainment tonight on Friday.
While promoting his upcoming film, he said: “Look, I’m 68, the hardest thing for us was when we were playing at 35.”
“That’s the moment when your metabolism stops, gravity starts to pull you down, your bones start to wear down, you stay different… I think I’m in better shape now,” he admitted.
In response to being told he looked “fine,” the actor said, “Do you know why?” Since my kids are older, I get decent exercise and can eat well. You can’t do that when you’re 35 years old. Life is a burden!’

Here, which hit theaters on November 1, also stars Robin Wright, Kelly Reilly, Leslie Zemeckis, Paul Bettany and Ophelia Lovibond.
Hanks previously starred opposite Wright in the 1994 comedy-romance Forrest Gump, in which he played the character of the same name 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 home over the course of a century.”
In a creative combination of traditional makeup effects and digital rejuvenation, both Hanks and Wright seamlessly transition between their teenage selves and their 80-year-old counterparts throughout the film’s extensive timeline.
In addition to Here, several of Hanks’ films have featured 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 artificial intelligence technology in scenes from 2022’s A Man Called Otto.
On the topic of Hanks’ appearance, he recently warned his fans that ads using his image are not genuine.
Instead, they were generated by artificial intelligence.

Tom and Robin lost their age in the new Here trailer released Wednesday. It’s been 30 years since they both starred in the iconic film Forrest Gump.
The revelation comes almost a year after Tom issued a similar warning to fans about a fake dental advert that abused his image.
A CGI version of Hanks appears in the 2004 computer-animated Christmas film The Polar Express, and he was digitally de-aged using artificial intelligence technology in scenes from 2022’s A Man Called Otto.
In August he took to his Instagram to inform his 9 million followers that viral commercials selling “miracle cures and wonder drugs” were created using artificial intelligence technology, without his permission.
‘There are multiple advertisements on the Internet that falsely use my name, image and voice to promote miracle cures and wonderful medications. “These ads have been created without my consent, fraudulently and using artificial intelligence,” the star’s message said.
“I have nothing to do with these publications, the products, the treatments or the spokespersons promoting these cures.”
Tom emphasized that he works exclusively with his “certified doctor” to manage his type 2 diabetes.
