Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, are still in Greece, as they attended the concert by the Greek band “Melisses” at the Herodotus Atticus on Tuesday night, September 12th.

Greek reporters from TV shows who were there elicited some statements from the Hollywood star, who stressed, among other things, that in this critical period for Greece after the passage of storm “Daniel”, is looking for a way to help.

“It’s never cold in Greece,” Hanks told the camera of the show “Kalimera”. When the reporter mentioned the floods that hit, among other places, Skopelos, one of the islands he visited, he replied:

“We intend to find a way and help all our friends in Greece at the first opportunity.”

Hanks and Wilson were spotted on Tuesday night, September 12, at the Herodotus Atticus for the “Melisses” concert and didn’t hesitate to pose for the paparazzi.

Smiling and hugging each other, the two Hollywood stars were photographed with the ancient conservatory in the background.
