Tom Hanks helps Girl Scouts sell cookies

Hanks was approached by three Scouts as he left a bookstore in Los Altos, Calif., on February 28.

Tom Hanks is on a roll.

First he reunited with Wilson, everyone’s favourite volleyball, at a New York Rangers game. Then he charmed us with his starring role in Carly Rae Jepsen’s latest (and very catchy) music video.

And now we’re learning that the two-time Academy Award winner took some time out of his day a couple of weeks ago to help some Girl Scouts sell cookies.

According to the Los Altos Town Crier, Hanks was approached by three Scouts as he left a bookstore in Los Altos, Calif., on February 28.

He immediately purchased four boxes of cookies from the girls, donated an extra $20, and posed for photos with the young fans.

When passersby spotted the star taking photos with the girls, they also wanted to snap pics with Hanks. Hanks agreed — but on one condition: they, too, would have to buy cookies from the Girl Scouts.

And that’s how you use the power of celebrity for good.

Because Hanks can do no wrong right now, we’re letting “I Really Like You” loop in our heads for the rest of the day.
