Tom Hanks recalls his lonely childhood

Hollywood star Tom Hanks may be an internationally known and much-loved actor, but he says he had a lonely childhood. The 59-year-old Oscar-winning star had a nomadic start in life, living in ten houses in five years, and has revealed he found the experience to be incredible lonely, reported People magazine.
However, hearing Strauss's 'Also Sprach Zarathustra,' which was used in the classic movie '2001: A Space Odyssey,' for the first time transpired to be a turning point in Hanks' life.
"This was the 'wow' moment of my life going from a kid trying to figure out what's interesting in this life to young man yearning to be an artist," Hanks said.

"I started asking myself: 'How do I find the vocabulary for what's rattling around in my head?'. Not long after I started going to the American Conservatory theatre by myself to see plays I had no idea even existed."
However, the actor said that when he met fellow actor Rita Wilson and they married in 1988, his loneliness truly ended. "I don't think I'll ever be lonely any more, that's how I felt when I met my wife," he said.
