Did tom hanks dress in drag a movie?

Tom Hanks has never dressed in drag for a movie. He has, however, played a character who was disguised as a woman, but that is different from dressing in drag.

The character you're likely thinking of is Forrest Gump, where Hanks wears a dress and wig for a brief scene to attend a costume party. However, this is meant to be a simple disguise and not a performance of drag.

It's important to distinguish between cross-dressing for a specific role and performing drag, which is an art form with its own history and cultural significance.
