Here's Why Tom Hanks Said He Has Five Children at Golden Globes 2020 When He is Father of Four

Tom Hanks raised a few eyebrows during his speech at the 2020 Golden Globes.

While being honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award on Sunday night (January 5) at the awards show, the 63-year-old actor emotionally thanked wife Rita Wilson and his “five children” for always supporting him.

“A man is blessed with a family sitting down front like that. A wife who is fantastic in every way, who has taught me what love is,” Tom said. “Five kids who are braver and stronger and wiser than their old man is…and a loving group of people who have put [up] with me being away months and months and months at a time.”

While Tom is only technically father to four kids – sons Colin, Chet, and Truman and daughter Elizabeth – he also included Colin‘s wife Samantha as one of his children.

A source shared with People that Tom “thinks of Sam as a daughter.” How sweet!

Colin and Samantha married in 2010 and share two kids.
