Tom Hanks and Truman Hanks -

Tom Hanks has quite the co-star in his film 'A Man Called Otto'—his son, Truman. In the film, based on Fredrik Backman's 2012 novel 'A Man Called Ove,' Truman plays a younger version of his father's character, so the casting comes as no surprise.

Tom opened up about the experience of working with his son during a post-screening Q&A on January 9 and told People, "Without a doubt, it's special because, you know, I changed his diapers." He continued, "But you get past that right away because you gotta show up, and you gotta hit the marks, and you gotta do it on time, and you gotta be right there."

Tom continued of his youngest son, "I know what that takes, and he does too. It's a little different when it's the whole shebang. He was cast for a very specific reason. We resemble each other, he's not a stranger, and he knows what the pressure is, and he's gotta do it."
