Tom
Hanks Thanks Dentist for Sustaining His "Average Guy" Image
1/12/08
Oscar winner Tom Hanks credits his good teeth with helping him avoid
the pitfalls of fame.
The Forrest Gump star insists his image as an "average guy"
in Hollywood is down to his regular visits to the dentist - and an
aversion to overexposure in the media.
He says, "I found that in order to maintain my average, normal guy
persona, I keep the press conferences to a minimum and get to the dentist
as often as possible."
