Tom Hanks spent some quality time with his granddaughter Michaiah Hanks in Brentwood on Sunday.
It was a rare sighting of the 68-year-old grandfather-of-three with the eight-year-old girl, whose parents are his son Chester ‘Chet’ Hanks and ex Tiffany Miles.
Tom was carrying a shopping bag while dressed casually in a grey LA Dodgers cap, navy-blue jacket, black jeans, and matching sneakers.
Little Michaiah wore her long locks down and had a pink ʙuттerfly top on beneath a black jean jacket, cargo blue jeans, and white sneakers.
The cute child was clutching a $5.99 box of Schylling ‘NeeDoh Dohnut Holes.’
It appeared to be a wholesome, happy afternoon for Hanks, whose last film Here completely flopped at the box office.

But the two-time Oscar winner was in great spirits, even posing for a selfie with a parking attendant as Michaiah patiently waited.
Chet seems to keep his only child away from social media as he hasn’t posted a picture of her since 2019.
However, the 34-year-old nepobaby – who stars as Travis Bugg in Mindy Kaling’s upcoming Netflix show Running Point – proudly announced he was three years sober on September 16.

Chet captioned his Instagram post: ‘A lot can change in three years.’
The Surreal Life star has raised eyebrows in the past for his various antics – including claiming he had no ‘strong father figure,’ brushes with the law, rehab stint, and cultural appropriation.
On December 26, Tom and his second wife Rita Wilson will celebrate the 29th birthday of their youngest son Truman Hanks, whose last gig was as film loader on Amazon Prime Video series Fallout.
Hanks was still married to his late first wife Samantha Lewes when he originally met the 68-year-old Look How Far We’ve Come songstress, who guest-starred in one episode of his cross-dressing ABC sitcom ʙosoм Buddies back in 1981.
The seven-time Emmy winner and Lewes went on to end their nine-year marriage six years later, and Rita (born Margarita Ibrahimoff) eventually became stepmother to their 47-year-old son Colin Hanks and 42-year-old daughter Elizabeth Ann Hanks.
