Videos Jeff Bezos is already an astronaut: "It was the best day of my life"
Space tourism William Shatner, Captain Kirk from 'Star Trek', to fly into space on Bezos' ship
You don't get rich wasting money.
Tell
Tom Hanks.
The charismatic actor had the unique opportunity to fly into space with the magnate
Jeff Bezos,
yes, after paying the ticket: no less than 28 million dollars.
The protagonist of
Forrest Gump
or
Sully
has told about it on the
Jimmy Kimmel Live program.
It was the presenter himself who asked him if the rumor that the founder of Amazon and Blue Origin had offered him to travel to space was true.
"Yes, that's right, as long as I paid for it," confessed the actor with a laugh.
"You know, it
costs like 28 million bucks or something.
I'm doing fine, Jimmy, I'm doing fine. But I'm not going to pay 28 million bucks," he laughed.
A ticket that, in exchange, would be
more than 24 million euros.
"It's like a 12 minute flight, right? Something like that? Okay, we can do it on our couches right now," Hanks joked.
The actor is clear about his priorities: "I'm not going to spend 28 million on that." It would have been different if the trip had been free.
"Just to experience the joy of pretending to be a billionaire," he
joked. The fortune of the protagonist of Náufrago is estimated at 400 million dollars -about 350 million euros-. Since he began his acting career in 1980, Tom Hanks has participated in more than a hundred series and films. In addition, in recent years he has also produced several box office successes such as
Mamma Mia,
My Great Greek Wedding
, as well as
Shipwreck
,
Where the Monsters Live
or
Larry Crowne
, and series such as
The Pacific, Big Love
and
Olive Ketteridge
.
Tom Hanks did not fly into space but another actor did: Canadian William Shatner who played
Captain Kirk
on
Start Trek.
The actor thus became the oldest person to have ever flown into space.
In his case,
the trip was free
as Bezos is a self-confessed
Star Trek
fan
.
So much so that he even made one of his dreams come true: a cameo in one of the films in the series.
Something he accomplished in 2016 on
Star Trek Beyond.
