Happy birthday, Tom Hanks! The screen icon turned 68 on July 9, and his wife Rita Wilson was among the very first to celebrate his special day.
The actress and musician, 67, took to Instagram with a photograph of her husband of over three decades in one of the corners of their lush $26 million Pacific Palisades family home.
The room she shared a peek at was presumably dedicated to the actor's love of music, specifically vinyl records, and was filled with a bookshelf covered in a variety of records from top to bottom.
Tom, who is a guest DJ on the radio show Boss Radio 66 and a noted lover of classic music, was captured adding one of the records into his wood player. Other highlights from the space included a ukulele and a metronome.
Rita shared the absolute sweetest dedication to her Oscar-winning husband, writing: "Happy Birthday to my love! You made the world a better place the day you were born."
She used her message to emphasize how much light and joy Tom had brought to people over the course of his decades-long career. "You bring joy wherever you go. You are the bringer of laughs, a lover of vehicles, or pretty much anything, shaped like a round bath tub."
