Tom Hanks shades Vladimir Putin at D-Day memorial: ‘Funny how often it comes out of the ego of one human being’

“I never thought there could be a land war in Europe in my lifetime… because it had proven to be so disastrous for all of humanity the last time somebody tried.”

Tom Hanks is likening Vladimir Putin to Adolf Hitler.

The Forrest Gump star spoke with CNN Thursday while attending a commemorative event honoring the 80th anniversary of D-Day at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France.

“I never thought there could be a land war in Europe in my lifetime, once again, because it had proven to be so disastrous for all of humanity the last time somebody tried that,” Hanks opined about the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia.

“Funny how often it comes out of the ego of one human being,” he continued. “One guy, back in the 1930s says, ‘No, I’m gonna solve all of these problems ’cause I know what works and what does not work.'”
