In November 2024, the Runet was filled with publications: the actor was so unhappy with the results of the presidential election in the country that he decided to leave the States, but soon returned. We checked the reliability of this story.

Sometimes It was clarifiedthat the actor will buy one -way ticket to Canada (although he has since 2020 in addition to the American passport There is Greek). Similar messages for months Distributed online and Get Millions of views, but for a long time remained unnoticed in Runet. Some Russian -speaking resources wrote about the alleged statement of the artist only in November 2024. For example, publication "Ukraine.ru"Claimed that during the election campaign, Kamaly Harris Hanks, together with other celebrities, publicly promised to leave the United States in the event of Trump's victory. Recall that Harris I put forward Its candidacy only in July 2024, that is, several months after the expected statements of the artist.

Is it true that he promised to leave
Since the alleged words of Hanks in English -speaking social networks received millions of views on these posts I turned it Attention Snopes project. The fact of the Twit was dismantled, which was published on December 24, 2023 @Dustinemills24. His post marked “Urgently” gained 1.6 million views. However, the author of the publication repeatedly He wrotethat the tweet wears satirical character, therefore, Snopes called reports of Hanks about the departure from the United States "satirical news."
But “verified” with such a verdict cannot agree. The fact is that in the comments under the post @dustinemills24 one of the users noted: “This is not urgent news. I have been meeting it for several weeks. ” We confirm these words: in social networks X The first tweets about the alleged statement of Hanks appeared no later December 8, 2023. And the earliest fast, who was able to track “verified”, is not available, since it was placed by an already remote account.
However, like our American colleagues, we also did not find the statements of Hanks about his possible departure from the United States in case of Trump's victory in the elections. There are no similar statements in any of the actor’s interviews; they are absent in his verified accounts in social networks.
In recent years, the artist spoke sharply many times about the Republican policy. For example, on the eve of the 2016 elections, in an interview, Hanks publicly supported the candidate from the Democrats Hillary Clinton, called Trump to “narcissistic empty people” and when asked about his possible victory answered So: “What will happen if he wins? Well, it will be a black day for the planet. ” In June 2024 on the air of CNN artist He said About the future of the country after the potential second presidential term Trump is already more restrained:
“I think there are always reasons for concern in the short term. But I look at what is happening, in a longer -term perspective ... Listen, our constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, with the aim of forming a more perfect alliance ..." And on this path to a more perfect union, incorrect steps are taken, we know this. I can list these mistakes as much as you. And at the same time you are a professional journalist, and I’m just a guy who acts in films and reads books. ”
Hanks believes that over time his country is still changing for the better, and Adds: “I will always believe that the United States of America and Western societies, which have adopted a more or less similar type of democracy, cannot but return to the right path.”
It should be noted that in the comments under the false posts of Hanks left the United States in the event of Trump’s victory in 2024, many users called the actor a pedophile and associated his alleged decision with leakage of documents on the rapper affairs Pi didi and financier Jeffrey Epstein. According to the investigation, both arranged a sex for minors. Previously "Checked"And other factskeeping projects repeatedly refuted fabricated messages according to which Hanks is involved in sexualized violence Over the children And trafficking in people. For example, in January Reuters Agency Disassembled CNN fake report that after the publication of the Epstein client list, the actor accepted Judaism and left for Israel. According to journalists, the name Hanks Not met in declassified documents in which, among other Facing Trump (the media at the same time clarify that the politician was mentioned without a single hint of inappropriate actions).
Is it true that he left
Most of the Russian-speaking media, which published notes on the open letter of Hanks about his departure from the United States, referred to the resource about the pop culture of The Direct. November 8 on this site and the truth I went out Material dedicated to the actor. “Tom Hanks left the country? We explain new rumors, ”the headline reads. The article even gave the full text of the letter, which the artist allegedly addressed his fans:
“Dear friends and fans.
With a heavy heart and even a heavier suitcase I announce: I officially left the country. Yes, you did not disgrace, I am writing this from a distant and unknown place, from where a beautiful view of ... Well, something that is definitely not America.
Why I'm here, you ask? Let's just say: President Trump 2.0 was not at all what I was ready for. When I saw the results, I thought: "Run, Forrest, run!" “And that’s what I did.” Not to mention the fact that fear of being in a federal prison made me run faster than an outcast chasing a volleyball ball.
Please do not think that I am leaving my favorite country - consider it a very long vacation caused by political reasons. I will return ... in the end. Maybe just to the president of the Oprais (most likely, this refers to the TV presenter and active supporter of the Democratic Party of Oprah Winfrey - approx. Ed.).
With love and hope ... from somewhere, Tom Hanks. "
However, apparently, the authors of the Russian -speaking media did not read the article by The Direct to the end, because they come to the following conclusion: “Rumors that he (Hanks. - Ed.) He left or leave the country, there will be no reason.” According to the publication, the mass distribution of this information began with a video, which on November 7, 2024 published a profile with a username in a Tiktok @celiina.t97 (At the time of writing this analysis, he changed his name to @kimberly_apjohn). There, the 26-second video gained more than 205,000 views and for the most part was an advertisement for a T-shirt, which showed the print: "Support the country in which you live, or go to the country that you support." At the same time, at the beginning of the video there is a screenshot of the alleged letter of Hanks, which, it is alleged, he published on November 6.
"Verified" studied this Tiktok account and found out that Since the end of September 2024 his authors published there only content, promoting clothes and hats in support of Trump. Earlier for several months there laid out Rollers not related to politics.
However, as “verified”, @celiina.t97 was not the first profile to place the alleged letter of Hanks. The earliest publication that we managed to find appeared in Tiktok on the eve of November 6, on the user's page @mcbride692 (almost 11 million views). Later his video (in fact, a picture with the applied music) Sicked Hundreds of thousands of views in the X. Usually this author lays videos with fake stars and news about the deaths of celebrities, in the announcements of which he uses photos of other people. For example, @mcbride692 wrote that in 2024 they died Jackie Chan (with a picture of Ken Jong), Ian McCellen (Robert Inglund), Vanya Morris (Idrisa Elbe) and Peter Dinklage (Jason Momoa), but all of the listed artists are alive. Among the fake appeals placed by the blogger, other statements about leaving the United States can be distinguished: so, due to Trump's victory in the elections, the singer allegedly left the country Cheras well as actors Samuel L. Jackson and Robert de Niro (and the latter supposedly He went in Vietnam, and before that admitted in your HIV-positive status).
We add that in November 2024 the newspaper Newsweek Checked The authenticity of the large list of stars, which allegedly declared emigration in the event of Trump's victory. The spread of this list was contributed to the blogger Andrew Tate. In addition to Hanks, Cher, Jackson and De Niro, for example, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, George Clooney, Kim Kardashian and many others entered. However, Newsweek could not find the relevant public statements of most celebrities. Among those who really said this, many made their comments during the 2016 or 2020 elections, in which Trump also participated. In addition, part of the statements was torn out of context, and some artists later publicly abandoned their words.
Is it true that he returned
As we have already installed above, Hanks did not say that he would leave the States in the event of Trump’s victory, and also did not declare his departure. Accordingly, in this case, the actor could not return. But then why did this news parted on the Web?
“Verified” did not find any messages from the paparazzi on the return of Hanks, as well as the posts mentioned above in the social networks of the actor. So, the latest records on his pages in X And Facebook dated to May 2020. Nevertheless, the artist is still active on Instagram*, but within a few days after the presidential election he Published There is only a congratulation on the day of veterans on November 11.
The earliest post with the alleged quotes of Hanks we found in the Telegram channel "but my Yandex is a wallet"(32,000 views), where the record was posted on November 11 at 07:19 Moscow time. As our regular readers can remember, the records of this blog are satirical, and the description of the channel says: “A parody, satire on political reality. Only proven fakes. "
Often, the author of the channel “But my Yandex Kid” writes about how the media and other bloggers give out his invented news for real ones. So it happened this time. In the evening of the same day blogger Laid Transfer fragment "60 minutes»TV channel" Russia 1 ". In it, the leader and deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Evgeny Popov claims that Hanks emigrated from the United States only for species and headlines, and returned home a couple of days later. At the same time, part of the mentioned by us material The Direct. As mentioned above, in the text itself, the author draws the following conclusion: there is no reason to believe that Hanks left or leave the country.
By the way, immediately after the plot of Hanks, Popov spoke about the survey on the social network X, which allegedly conducted Trump and commented on Mel Gibson. "Checked" Disassembled And this story found out that neither the newly elected president of the United States, nor the Hollywood actor wrote anything like this.
We add that the curious stories related to false news about the departure and return of Hanks occurred not only in the 60 minutes program. For example, on November 11, on the broadcast of the “Meeting Place” to NTV, the host Ivan Trushkin with reference to The Direct told About the fake farewell letter of the actor, not in doubt about the authenticity of the text. Four days later, November 15, in the same show, presenter Andrei Norkin He asked, is Hanks really returned two days later, to which Trushkin answered: “We wanted to give this in the news. We checked: it seems like this is a fake. "
Thus, the whole story of Tome Hanks and his short emigration was invented by different people. The actor did not stated that in the event of Trump’s victory he would leave the United States, did not write in his social networks about the fact that he had already left the States, and, accordingly, did not return to his homeland two days later.
*Russian authorities They think Meta Platforms Inc., which owns social networks Facebook and Instagram, an extremist organization, its activities and symbolism in Russia are prohibited.
