Tom Hanks says he turned down offer from Jeff Bezos to go to space
Fox News
Tom Hanks, them Hollywood legend best known for films like “Sleepless in Seattle” and “Apollo 13,” said in an interview Wednesday that Jeff Bezos, the billionaire founder of Amazon offered to fly him to space before William Shatner but…but for a steep price.
The Hollywood A-lister appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and was asked about rumors that Bezos offered to fly him to space before William Shatner. Hanks confirmed the rumor.
"And, you know, it costs, like 28 million bucks or something like that…and I’m doing good, Jimmy…I’m doing good" but he said he isn’t going to fork over that amount. (Shatner reportedly did not have to pay.)
The New York Times reported last month that the company has not publicly stated a price for a ticket, so it is possible that Hanks was referring to the auction price for one of the seats. The space company did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.
