Tom Hanks, son Truman become co-workers during shooting of 'A Man Called Otto'

Star Tom Hanks talks working with his beloved son Truman in a new movie titled A Man called Otto.

The entertainer therefore sees the younger Hanks in a younger version of his father.

During a post-screening event, the Captain Phillips actor spills all on the experience collaborating with son dear.

"Without a doubt, it's special because, you know, I changed his diapers," Hanks said. "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."

He then went on to reiterate why Truman was actually casted for this role.

"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."

Truman on the other hand also revealed what it was like being with his dad on sets of the show,"Whenever I do my imitation of him, people are like, 'That's not what he sounds like.' But I have to convey to you the way I hear him. Everyone else hears, 'Houston we have a problem'; I hear this grumpy old man who's mad at the DVD player."

While Truman only has two acting credits to his name, one for News of the World in 2020, a movie that also stars Hanks and now A Man Called Otto, he is not a stranger to the entertainment industry.

According to IMDB, he has done camera and photography work on many movies like the Black Widow and West Side Story.

Hanks told The Sun,"The thing that doesn't change, no matter what happens — no matter who, what your last name is — is whether it works or not… That's the issue any time any of us go off and try to tell a fresh story or create something that is, has a beginning, a middle or an end. Doesn't matter what our last names are."

All his four kids Colin and Elizabeth that he had with his late ex-wife Samantha Lewes, along with Chet and Truman Hanks, who he shares with his current wife Wilson, "are all involved in some brand of storytelling.

"This is what we've been doing forever, it's what all of our kids grew up in. We have four kids, they're all very creative."
