Asked what he wants for Christmas, Hanks told pagesix.com: "Antique WWII typewriters. Takes a repair guy a month to get them working, and I write my letters on them. I own over 50."

While he loves the old-fashioned way of writing his letters, Hanks is also an avid user of social media. Earlier he used Twitter to thank a man who had found and returned his lost credit card.

He had posted: "A guy named Tony found my credit card on the street in New York City and returned it! Tony! You make this city even greater! Thanks."
