Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson just received some Big Fat Greek Citizenships. 

The couple says they have spent much of their summers for years in the Mediterranean country, where they own property, are observers of the Greek Orthodox faith, and Wilson herself has Greek Heritage. 

From CNN:

Wilson, who is part Greek, and Hanks, a Greek Orthodox convert, have often been spotted spending their vacations in Greece, where they also own property on the island of Antiparos.
                                                                                                                                              The two have produced several films based on the Greek community and never shy away from sharing their admiration for the country and its people.
                                                                                                                                             "I've been Hellenic now for the better part of 32 years," Hanks told reporters at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards earlier this year. "Greece is a haven… I've been around the world, I've been to the most beautiful places in the world, none of them tops Greece."
                                                                                                                                             "The land, the sky, the water, it's good for the soul, it's a healing place," Hanks said."
