Hollywood star Tom Hanks, known for films like “Sleepless in Seattle” and “Apollo 13”, said in a recent interview that billionaire Jeff Bezos offered to take him to space before William Shatner, but jokingly Said they expected to pay.
Hanks ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ where she was asked about rumors that Bezos had offered her to fly into space on his Blue Origin space flight. There, the Hollywood A-lister confirmed the rumor, Fox News informed of.
“Well, yes, provided I pay,” he said. “It’s going to cost $28 million or something. And I’m doing well, Jimmy — I’m doing well — but I’m not going to pay $28 million. You know, we’re going to go into space right now.” can imitate.”
Hanks, who appeared to promote his new film “Finch,” shivered in a rocket while in his chair, saying, “I don’t need to spend 28 million bucks to do this.”
According to a report last month that the company hasn’t publicly revealed the price of a single ticket, it’s possible that Hanks was referring to an auction price for a single seat.
Hanks, who famously played astronaut Jim Lovell in Ron Howard’s 1995 “Apollo 13,” went on to jokingly “simulate” what the 12-minute experience would be like, and assume Blue Origin would disagree.
Last month, Shatner and three fellow passengers cruised to an altitude of 66.5 miles over the West Texas desert in a fully automated capsule, then safely parachuted back to Earth. The flight lasted just over 10 minutes. He called it “the most profound experience ever.”
According to Fox News, another media outlet had reported that Shatner, along with Audrey Powers, Blue Origin’s vice president of mission and flight operations, did not pay for their flight travel. The firm described him as a guest for the visit.
