He may be a 57-year-old grandfather and father-of-four, but Tom Hanks still likes to live on the wild side.
The Da Vinci Code actor took his son Truman out on Saturday to buy a brand new Vespa, and couldn't resist the urger to take it for a spin himself.
Heading out to the Vespa dealership in Sherman Oaks, California, Tom looked like one cool rider dressed in blue jeans, brown leather shoes and a beige jacket.

I'll take it: Tom Hanks took his son Truman to a Vespa dealership in Sherman Oaks to buy a brand new scooter on Saturday, and couldn't help but go for a spin
With his trendy aviator sunglasses the Forrest Gump actor certainly cut a youthful figure as his son Truman checked out the bikes.
In fact the actor seemed to be embodying the titular character from his 2011 film Larry Crowne.
In the movie Tom plays a middle-aged man who after losing his job reinvents himself by going back to college, and rides around on a Vespa.

Easy rider: Tom looked cool in his aviator shades, blue jeans and beige suede jacket as arrived at the Vespa dealership on Saturday
At one point the easygoing actor appeared to pose with a passer-by who wanted a photograph with the star.
Tom is no doubt enjoying some down time before the publicity of trail of his next movie Saving Mr. Banks.
The film is Disney’s take on P.L. Travers life (played by Emma Thompson) and, eventually, the stormy relationship she had with the studio’s own mastermind, Walt Disney (played by Hanks).

It was also revealed earlier this month that Tom will be back for the next Dan Brown movie Inferno.
The actor was expected to return as Harvard University symbologist Robert Langdon for the adaptation of The Lost Symbol, the third novel in the thriller series best known for The Da Vinci Code, but will instead star in the adaptation of Brown's fourth international bestseller, Inferno.
Deadline.com also reported that director Ron Howard, who worked on the adaptation of the second novel, Angels & Demons, backed out of directing the third chapter and has instead jumped straight to the fourth book, Inferno.

After adapting the last film, David Koepp is set to write the screenplay for the forthcoming release.
Danny Strong appeared to be penning the adaptation for The Lost Symbol in March 2012, which was to be directed by Mark Romanek after Ron Howard opted out, but little had been heard about the project since.
The Da Vinci Code grossed $758million worldwide in 2006 and Angels & Demons took in $486million worldwide in 2009, so there are high expectations for 'Inferno', which is set to be released on December 18, 2015.
