Team: Aston Villa

Tom Hanks would expect Villa to come back to the Premier League this season

The Oscar-winning actor has been a long-time Villa fan admitting his love for the football club way back in 2001. When the actor was asked about the reason behind his fascination for the club, Tom said that the club’s name Aston Villa sounded “Pleasant”.

Hanks is famous for his roles in many blockbuster Hollywood movies like Forrest Gump, Captain Phillips, Castaway, The Da Vinci Code and much more. In an interview, the actor joked that, even though he's a fan of an Aston Villa, he had bet £100 on Leicester City to win the Premier League.

Hanks was devastated on finding out that Villa had been relegated but admitted that rooting for a club is a life lesson and that everyone must roll with the ups and downs. Hanks has also pledged to help the club rebuild so that club could return to the Premier League once again.
