“And he’s like, ‘No problem,’so he signed it to Vernon, good luck with the new gig, Tom Hanks.”
Vernon then revealed he met the actor again on a press junket on Eurostar for The Da Vinci Code.
He recalled: “I’ll never forget it, I I can see it now, Tom Hanks saw me and he just turned to Ron Howard (the film’s director) and he went ‘Oh this is Vern, he’s alright he is.’
“I’m like, ‘He remembered my name!’ and he just turned around and said ‘Vern, oh he’s a good guy!'”
One viewer complained: “How many more celebs is Vernon going to make drop in the next three weeks? Bit bored of that already” [sic].
Another remarked: “Dang Vernon dropping names like no tomorrow. Wonder who he’ll drop next after Hanks, DiCaprio? DeNiro?”
