What Led Tom Hanks To Become A Greek Citizen?

A QAnon conspiracy theory has been spreading on social media that Tom Hanks became a Greek citizen due to the classification of pedophilia as a disability. This theory, which was falsely claimed by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotaki, claims that Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson became honorary Greek citizens in late July 2020 for their work in spreading awareness of the 2018 fires that devastated Greece.

While there is no evidence to support this claim, there is no evidence that Greece classifies pedophilia as a disability. The theory began with a Facebook post in July 2020, claiming that Hanks was awarded Greek citizenship in recognition of his philanthropy and vacationing with his Greek-American wife.

The QAnon/Pizzagate conspiracy-theory crowd believes that one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors is an accused pedophile, despite zero evidence. The claim stems from a website where users share an article that falsely claims actor Tom Hanks was executed by the U.S. military.

In conclusion, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are officially citizens of Greece, as announced by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The QAnon conspiracy theory is a misleading and baseless attempt to label Hanks as a “fugitive pedophile” for being granted Greek citizenship. It is important to remember that Hanks is a Greek citizen and his work in spreading awareness about the devastating 2018 fires in Greece is a testament to his humanitarian efforts.
