Tom Hanks and Bill Murray are two of America’s greatest treasures. The actors, who were born six years apart, have a lot in common: they’re both SNL legends, for Nick the Lounge Singer and David S. Pumpkins alone; they’ve both been nominated for at least one Academy Award; and they’ve both contributed so much to internet culture. Murray is a walking meme, and Hanks is showing up at weddings and in Carly Rae Jepsen music videos.
Plus, when they’re crying, no one can apparently tell them apart.
Reasons My Son Is Crying is a website-turned-book that compiles “all the many many completely logical reasons that children cry.” Sometimes it’s because the kid didn’t get the food they wanted; other times, it’s because they’re being held by Bill Murray… or is that Tom Hanks? The photo above, which was uploaded in 2013 but only going viral now, is obviously of Murray impersonating a sobbing baby. But some people — probably the same numbskulls who have the wrong opinion about The Dress — think it’s Hanks.
Is that Bill Murray? It looks like Tom Hanks
Totally thought that was Tom Hanks…
I swear that is Tom Hanks.
That is Tom Hanks
Isn’t this Tom hanks?!
Totally thought it was Tom Hanks too.
There’s a very simple way to tell the two men apart: Hanks was in That Thing You Do! Murray wasn’t. What’s so confusing about that?
