“Life is such a burden”

Tom Hanks has no plans to go back and relive his 30s.

The 68-year-old actor, who plays a wide range of ages in director Robert Zemeckis' new film Here thanks to anti-aging technology, was recently asked by Entertainment tonight if there was a specific age he liked to come back to in the film.

However, Hanks said that “the hardest thing for us was when we were playing at 35. That moment when your metabolism stops, gravity starts to break you down, your bones start to wear away. Your position is different”.⁠

The Oscar winner added that he thinks he is “in better shape now” than when he was in his 30s.

“Do you know why? As my children have grown up, I get good exercise and can eat well,” she explained. “You can't do that when you're 35. Life is such a burden!”

Herestarring Hanks alongside Robin Wright, is a generational story about families and the special place they live, sharing love, loss, laughter and life.

THE Forrest Gump star also mentioned previously People that while it was “nice to look young again,” he admitted that he “would rather be as old as me.”

At the film's premiere at AFI Fest in Los Angeles last week, Zemeckis spoke with The Hollywood journalist about the technology used to track actors throughout the decades of history. The team worked with AI studio Metaphysic on a tool called Metaphysic Live, which created face swaps and aging effects on top of actors' performances in real time.

The director explained that it was basically “digital makeup” and allowed the cast to see themselves 20 or 30 years younger while filming the scene, instead of waiting for visual effects to be added later.

Zemeckis added: “They look at it and say, 'Oh, I need to be a little more agile, I need to move a little faster, I need to raise my voice a little.' It was important for them to see it.”

Here arrives in theaters November 1st.
