Greece gives actor Tom Hanks honorary Greek citizenship
GreekNewsOnDemand.com comments:
We Greeks have been known to always be the biggest traitors of ourselves and this is NO EXCEPTION!
REALLY?, ‘honorary Greek citizenship’ to a guy who stars in movies (i.e., THE DAVINCI CODE based on the book THE DAVINCI CODE) that attacks and undermines…CHRISTIANITY???!!! And what has Hanks done for Greece to merit such an honor??? Has he come out publicly to denounce the Memorandums in Greece (which have destroyed it!) by the TROIKA as…FALSE,, etc., THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE PLAGUING GREECE FOR 10 YEARS NOW??? OF COURSE NOT!!! NOT EVEN GREEK AMERICAN CELEBRITIES TALK ABOUT THAT!!!
Tom Hanks may officially consider himself Greek.
Greece’s President Prokopis Pavlopoulos has signed an honorary naturalization order allowing the 63-year-old actor to claim Greek citizenship, his office told The Associated Press on Friday.
Hanks frequently spends his summer vacation on the Greek island of Antiparos and his wife, actress and producer Rita Wilson, is of Greek and Bulgarian ancestry.
Under Greek law, honorary naturalization may be granted to people “who have provided exceptional services to the country or whose naturalization serves the public interest.”
