Tom Hanks was at the Stagecoach Music Festival in California to support his wife, Rita Wilson, who performed. Right before she hit the stage, he decided to go get himself a beer. After the staffer recognized him, he asked for a drink. They asked to see his ID bracelet. He said, “First of all, you know my name, and secondly, I'd like a beer,” to which he was told: “Well we can't sell you a beer without proof of ID.”
The 62-year-old wasn’t able to get a drink until he literally produced an ID bracelet saying that he was over 21. The manager apologized and told him, “If I give you a beer, I’m just going to get fired.” He told them, “Well, this is going to make a great story on The Graham Norton Show.”
