Remember that iconic scene from “Big” where Tom Hanks plays a life-sized piano in a toy store?
It’s a moment that has inspired countless renditions in malls and stores worldwide, with people sharing their own versions online for everyone’s enjoyment.
But there’s something uniquely special about the original scene.
In that unforgettable scene, Tom Hanks, steps onto the piano while explaining a new toy idea to a company executive.
What unfolds is a delightful display of innocent fun, perfectly capturing the essence of the film’s theme.
Fast forward to a few years ago on the Jonathan Ross show, where who better to recreate this magical moment than Tom Hanks himself?
Given that he starred in the original, it was only fitting that he would be the one to bring it to life once more.
The surprise unfolded as Jonathan Ross, while chatting with Hanks, hinted at something hidden under the carpet, suggesting an optical illusion.
Intrigued, Hanks approached the mysterious flooring, chuckling with curiosity.
The big reveal came when Ross pulled back the carpet, unveiling a massive piano beneath.
The audience erupted in cheers, instantly recognizing the setup and eagerly anticipating what was to come.
Hanks took the first steps onto the piano, likely flooded with memories from 25 years ago when the movie was first filmed.
He tentatively began playing, his first notes hinting at the start of a song.
The tune he chose was “Heart and Soul,” a classic known worldwide and often played as a duet.
While Hanks had performed it effortlessly in the movie, this time around, he seemed to struggle a bit with the melody.
Despite the years that had passed, it was impressive that Hanks remembered as much as he did.
The audience responded with gentle laughter and encouragement when he missed a few notes, showing their appreciation for his effort.
Next, Hanks and Ross attempted “Chopsticks,” a simpler yet quick-paced song.
But the highlight came when Sandra Bullock joined in.
Confident in her ability to play even in heels, she and Hanks became the duo the crowd was excited to see.
As they reached the final note, Bullock humorously exclaimed, “I am not hitting that last note!” hinting at the potential for a comical mishap.
