I am impressed by the real Captain Phillips, says Hanks

Actor Tom Hanks, who stars in Captain Phillips, based on real life hero Captain Phillip Richards, finds him to be a very inspiring man. The movie sees Hanks play the titular role sketched on the man, who was heralded for his heroic actions after Somali pirates attacked his ship, Maersk Alabama in 2009.

‘He still goes out to sea for six weeks at a time. He is an absolute true merchant marine who has great pride in what he does. I find that impressive,’ Hanks, who believes ‘I’m not a leader; I just play one in the movies’.

The actor says there’s something that separates a hero from an ordinary man.
