His love for Greece is given already, while over the last 13 years Tom Hanks spends his holidays at his villa in Antiparos, with his wife, of Greek origin, Rita Wilson. However this summer, the Hollywood star decided to give his leisure time an “adventurous” twist and participated at the local custom, crossing the channel between Paros and Antiparos, event last Sunday, during which he swam the distance with other locals and tourists with a huge crowd of fans waiting at the finish to cheer him and greet him with enthusiastic rounds of applause.
