Is it true that Tom Hanks bought a Russian “loaf”?

A few years ago, Russian television channels and sites protruded that Hollywood actor Tom Hanks bought himself a Russian car-the famous UAZ-452 (the people are just a “loaf”). We checked if he made such a purchase.

The story appeared back in 2017, or rather, March 11. On that day, many Russian media wrote that Hanks boasted a new machine for the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant in social networks. It was reported that the actor is very pleased with the car and even goes on him on a hike.

For example, similar headlines and stories can be found on the sites of television channels "Star", "Moscow 24", "NTV", "Fifth channel", television programs "News", radio stations "Lighthouse"as well as publications "Gazeta.ru" And "Arguments and Facts". Further, the journalists of the Tsargrad-TV television channel went: they have material I went out Under the heading "Subscribers convicted Tom Hanks in a lie in the story of" Bukhanka "." But did the actor deceive anyone?

So, on March 11, 2017, Hanks on his Twitter and Instagram really uploaded a photo in which he seemed to open UAZ-452. The signature in those posts reads: “I have a new truck! I go on a hike! Hanks ". At the same time, Hungarian license plates and the logo of the Budapest company are visible by car Babindeliwho produces women's clothes. Quite strange for a car owned by the actor.

It is worth noting that Hanks is famous for its sense of humor, which can also be traced from its accounts on social networks. So, he has a couple of unusual “hobbies”:

• 1) He takes photos of lost things with funny signatures (most often this gloves, socks or shoes);
• 2) He uploads a photo in which he allegedly opens rare cars.

At the same time, the signature of the posts with the car is always something like this: “I bought a new car. Hanks ". And in one of the pictures, he generally “opens” the conquered corps of the car. “I bought a used car. Hanks " - wrote actor.

Hanks posted the first such photo on Instagram in August 2015. And many cars have Hungarian numbers just because the actor in the summer of that year Filmed In Hungary in the film "Inferno" (Inferno, 2016) - the third part of the franchise about the adventures of Professor Robert Langdon, the protagonist of Romanov Dan Brown. Also reportedthat in early 2016, Tom returned to Budapest for additional filming.

By the way, some pictures from this “automobile” series captured Fiat 126 Polish production. In Poland, this was perceived as a hint, so Monica Yaskulsk is a resident of the city of Belsko-Bay, where the car has been produced since the 1970s-- Beginning fundraising campaign to give Hanks Namely Fiat 126. Sponsors helped and restore and restore, and Rent Auto in the USA. In December 2017, Hanks solemnly received his gift, and besides, he also participated in a charity event for the Polish children's hospital.

Thus, we have no accurate confirmation that Hanks did not buy UAZ-452, but there are great doubts that in Hungary he bought a dozen cars. The actor, it seems, just posted a comic photo that the Russian media took too seriously.
