After having offered nationality to Tom Hanks, Greece decides to extend this decision to the entire family of the actor. Rita Wilson, his wife, as well as Chester and Truman, their two children, receive this honor for their help during the fires that devastated the country in 2018. A decision published in the official journal of the government, as revealed by the Greek City Times.
"The Hanks family has given a signal on a global scale, allowing immediate action towards our fellow citizens affected by the fires," it is written in the decree dated December 27, last.
