Tom Hanks Dunks his Head in Icy Water to Kickstart his Day on Set

Wenn

Tom Hanks begins every filming day by plunging his head into a bowl of icy water, because it’s just what his hero Paul Newman did.

The Oscar winner admits he has been using the trick to wake up his senses before scenes for years after learning it was part of the late movie icon’s technique.

“It made him a little more Paul Newman, so that’s all I was going for,” Hanks tells Access Hollywood. “It needs to be a very big bowl to fit my fat head… It wakes you up, baby!”
