Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!American actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks recalled working for singer and actor Cher and recalled delivering a bag to Cher’s room while she was with one of her rock-and-roll husbands.
He recently appeared on The Graham Norton Show with Cher, Julia Roberts, and Timothee Chalamet, and regaled the audience with a story about his days working at a hotel in the 1970s, reported People.
“I have worked for Cher. I was a bellman at the Oakland Hilton Hotel,” he began, prompting a surprised “No!” from the “If I Could Turn Back Time” singer, 77.
“You were with one of your rock-and-roll husbands, and we had your bag. And then word came down, ‘Hey, run this up to Cher’s room,’ so I did,” Hanks continued. “I knocked on the door and I put it down and you came out and said, ‘Yeah, that’s it. Thanks, kid.’ And that was it.”
“So I have worked for Cher,” he added, surmising that their brief interaction occurred sometime in 1975 or 1976.
According to People, at that time, Cher was in a much-publicized relationship with Allman Brothers Band frontman Gregg Allman, whom she married in June 1975.
During the stars’ talk show appearance, Hanks had high praise for Cher, who admitted during the conversation that she isn’t “a big Cher fan” herself and doesn’t like to watch her own films or listen to her own music. “You’re missing out,” the Elvis star told her.
“Motion picture perfection — Mamma Mia! 2,” he raved of the 2018 film in which Cher played the role of Ruby Sheridan. “When she busts out ‘Fernando,’ the world stops. Suns clash with the stars. It’s perfection!”
“I think we should all go to the theatre and watch Cher’s movies right now,” he said.
“Let’s have a Cher-a-thon!” Roberts enthusiastically declared. -TIN Bureau
