Man arrested trying to get Tom Hanks' autograph
Sep 30, 2005, 11:48 GMT
Tom Hanks was left stunned when an intruder - determined to get the star's autograph - was arrested after sneaking onto the set of his new movie 'The Da Vinci Code'.
The man allegedly crept past security guards to try to get closer to the Hollywood actor while he was filming the thriller in a medieval chapel in Scotland.
After the arrest, film bosses closed the set to public onlookers so Hanks - who plays heroic Harvard professor Robert Langdon in the movie adaptation of Dan Brown's cult novel - could continue shooting his scenes with co-star Audrey Tatou without disruption.
A security source revealed the 39-year-old man had been hanging around the set all week, and had already been warned about his behaviour.
He was later charged with breaching of the peace, according to a report on Britain's BBC website.
Earlier this year, Hanks was voted America's favourite movie star of 2004. The 'Saving Private Ryan' star, who has starred in more than forty films in his 20 year career, beat Mel Gibson into second place in the annual Harris poll published by prestigious American business newspaper The Wall Street Journal.
