We have witnessed many on-screen relationships between actors and actresses turn into real-life love stories over the years. The truth is that the same goes about friendships which last a lifetime. One of those genuine friendships between two actors is the one between Tim Allen and his “Toy Story” co-star Tom Hanks.
Just the thought of these incredible A-list starts being best friends in real life make us go ‘aww.’
In a recent interview on the Kelly Clarkson show, Allen spoke of his friendship with Tom Hanks, or ‘Mr. Nice Guy,’ who has played many roles over the course of his career which are until this day considered iconic, like those in Forest Gump and Philadelphia, for which he won two consecutive Academy Awards for Best Actor.
“He and I differ on so many things. I adore that man’s heart and mind,” Allen said of Hanks.
The two have been seen together recently and many assumed that they are working on a movie together. “We’ve been going to lunch since Toy Story 1, two times a year, and we’re like two older women ’cause we will sit almost too close to each other at a booth,” Allen said. “It’s just weird.”
During the filming of Toy Story 1, Hanks took some fries from Allen’s plate and Allen’s reaction was priceless as he grew up in a home where one wouldn’t simply help themselves to food from other’s plates.
“And I don’t think I’ve ever trusted a human being as much as Tom to even listen to me and vice versa. We have very different opinions on so many things, but he’s gotten me to accept — he’s really a wonderful and engaging person. He’s the first guy to listen to me and doesn’t judge,” Allen said of Hanks, who played Woody to Allen’s Buzz Lightyear in one of the most loved children’s movies ever.
Both Allen and Hanks are incredible actors with very successful Hollywood careers and we are very glad they clicked and hang out together.

Having co-starred as Buzz Lightyear and Woody in Pixar’s beloved Toy Story franchise, the duo formed a bond that has only grown stronger over the years.
In a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Tim Allen opened up about his deep connection with Hanks, affectionately referring to him as “Mr. Nice Guy.” While Hanks is renowned for his iconic roles in films like Forrest Gump and Philadelphia, Allen emphasized that it’s Hanks’ heart and intellect that make him truly remarkable.

Their friendship, which has spanned decades, has become a tradition of sorts. “We’ve been going to lunch since Toy Story 1, two times a year,” Allen revealed. “We’re like two older women sitting almost too close to each other in a booth. It’s just weird.”
During their Toy Story days, an amusing incident helped cement their bond. Hanks casually took some fries off Allen’s plate, prompting a priceless reaction from Allen, who was raised in a household where such actions were frowned upon.
Despite their differences in opinions on various topics, Allen deeply values their conversations. “I don’t think I’ve ever trusted a human being as much as Tom to even listen to me and vice versa,” Allen remarked. “He’s really a wonderful and engaging person. He’s the first guy to listen to me without judgment.”
Fans were thrilled to see the pair together recently, sparking speculation about a possible new project. Whether or not that’s true, it’s clear that Allen and Hanks’ friendship remains steadfast.
