Hanks said: "An Airstream is gorgeous and cosy, which is why everyone who visited mine went away wanting one."

"I shan't forget night shoots on 'Gump' and 'The Green Mile' with the windows open and the cool air coming in. Or the time Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton and I watched a Buster Keaton documentary on the TV – before running through the Forest Lawn cemetery in our 'Apollo 13' costumes to pay homage at his grave."

"You haven't lived well until you survive a movie-stopping thunderstorm in an Airstream while on location in Carolina."

After nearly 30 years of ownership Hanks is now parting with his Airstream because "movies move faster now" and he "doesn't have as much time during set-ups."

"I got it in the days when movies moved slower," he added.
