In an interview for the June issue of Esquire magazine, the Da Vinci Code star revealed that he cheated on former wife, Samantha Lewes, in 1978. Hanks, 49, is now happily married to Rita Wilson. The two met while working on the film Volunteers.
The actor who won an Oscar for his role in Forrest Gump, is also known for keeping his private life very private. In the interview he said, "Rita and I just looked at each other and – kaboing – that was that. I asked Rita if it was the real thing for her, and it just couldn’t be denied."
He added, "Well, yeah, I did happen to be married at the time. And there’s nothing to celebrate about that."
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were married in 1988. They have two children, Chester, 15, and Truman, 10.
