Abraham Lincoln
Yup, believe it or not, Tom Hanks is related to the one and only, Abraham Lincoln is. As one of America’s most famous Presidents and certainly one of the most beloved, Lincoln is best known, among many other things, for the emancipation proclamation.
Tom Hanks is actually a third cousin, four times removed relative of honest Abe. Hanks is related to Lincoln from his mother’s side. Despite not being a close relative, this is certainly an interesting titbit once you learn it.
