Tom Hanks revealed that Jeff Bezos offered him a ride to space on his Blue Origin rocket but he turned it down because it came at a lofty price.
During an appearance on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday, the actor confirmed, "Well yeah, provided I. It costs like $28 million or something like that. And I'm doing good, Jimmy — I'm doing good — but I ain't paying $28 million. You know what, we could simulate the experience of going to space right now."
Hanks was in the show to promote his new movie "Finch."
On a light note, the actor mimicked shaking in a rocket while in his chair, saying, "I don't need to spend 28 million bucks to do that."
Hanks went further to pay tribute to his late friend, actor Peter Scolari, whom he worked with on the sitcom "Bosom Buddies."
He said he was so connected with Paul when Kimmel played a clip from a 1981 episode of the show.
Hanks said, "Peter has a lovely family, his wife Tracy, absolutely great kids and we lost him to the emperor of all maladies. So thanks for letting us show that."
