<\/p>\n

Tom Hanks enjoyed a spot of reading at The London Library, and the Hollywood star\u2019s presence didn\u2019t go unnoticed. <\/p>\n

Lurking in the history section you can find many books and materials on World War II \u2013 and the 67-year-old Forrest Gump actor delighting in them. <\/p>\n

The star was said to be particularly impressed with the \u2018rich variety\u2019 of the library\u2019s open-access collections. <\/p>\n

As somewhat of a history fan, the American actor perused original issues from June 1944 of the Normandy Landings. <\/p>\n

The megastar would have an interest in this particular time and place, as these events were expertly conveyed in World War II classic Saving Private Ryan, in which Tom played Captain Miller alongside Matt Damon as the titular character.<\/p>\n

The star\u2019s visit seemed pretty random, as Tom thought he\u2019d pop in after reading about the library in Simon Winchester\u2019s book Knowing What We Know.<\/p>\n
