The image of Hanks from 2015 has also been doctored in the past to promote t-shirts with environmental slogans such as “There is no Planet B” and “Unless. March for Science. Earth Day 2017.”
In the original photo, Hanks wears a U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team t-shirt. He remarked, “Fake turf or not, I’m full Bosom Buds if Coach Ellis needs me. No yellow cards! Hanx.”
The circulating picture is false.
