Tom Hanks is an American Idol fan!
Hanks believes Haley Reinhart should have been season 10′s champ and says he was so confident in the 20-year-old’s abilities that he voted for her during last week’s top 3 round his first vote in Idol history.
“I had dodged the virus for many, many years,” Hanks, 54, told Ellen DeGeneres about making Idol appointment television. “This year I got hooked on watching with [wife] Rita Wilson.”
He adds he dialed in for Reinhart, who got the boot after a record 95 million votes were cast.
“I voted twice and I thought well, that’ll put her over the top,” the actor said.
“I put off [voting] as long as I could. I haven’t voted with Dancing With the Stars yet.
“Not to take anything away from them but I do hate them. I’m joking. I don’t hate them. I just lost, that’s all.”
