Tom Hanks has had a very busy week, with his highly anticipated film “Cloud Atlas” scheduled for release in US theaters this Friday. His latest appearance was on Stephen Colbert’s Comedy Central show.

Check out the video below in full.

Playing off his good guy image, Hanks feigned to be helping Colbert offer kids accessible, preferably DIY ideas for Halloween costumes, when he was actually promoting his own movies instead.

It might take a non-fan some time to realize that Hanks actually had the kids come dressed as characters from his movies.

The skit is a bit too long for my taste, as if trying to drive the point home by having it hammered into my brains.

However, you should know you should wait until the end, because a super upset Matt Damon makes a brief appearance – and it’s totally worth it.

Enjoy!
