Both actors have shot films here, and happily shared with Ryan their memories of the time they spent in Ireland.
Tom spoke about working on Saving Private Ryan in Wexford, and how he formed a very noble impression of Irish people through this small observation:
Oh Tom. Irish people steal the pint glasses. They also steal the bar mats, the signs, the ashtrays, and anything that isn’t nailed down, basically. How do we break this to him?

Meryl, for her part, recalled the days she spent in Donegal while shooting the film adaptation of Brian Friel’s Dancing At Lughnasa:
Another A-lister we can claim as our own. But we can’t be happy about it while Tom Hanks is still going around with a false idea of Irish people’s moral compass. Please don’t judge us when you find out, Hanx. :(
