Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg might just be the kings of Hollywood luck, because while the rest of their neighbors are roasting marshmallows over what used to be their living rooms, these two legends are chilling in homes as untouched as Spielberg’s Oscar shelf.
TMZ got their hands on some eye-popping pics and video that scream, “We’re fine, thanks for asking!” Hanks’ cliffside crib looks like it got a fresh coat of paint, while Spielberg’s wooded wonderland is standing tall, like a scene straight out of Jurassic Park—minus the dinosaurs, obviously.
The Great Hanks Escape
Here’s the kicker: the house right above Tom Hanks’ pad? Yeah, it’s gone—poof, up in flames. Smoke’s still doing its dramatic swirl like it’s auditioning for a disaster film. Meanwhile, Tom’s place? Not a scratch, not a smudge, not even a rogue leaf out of place. It’s like the fire saw his house and said, “Not today, Forrest.”
Spielberg’s Secret Fireproof Estate
As for Spielberg’s digs, the pictures are a bit hazy (pun intended), but word on the street is his mansion’s just fine. Maybe Spielberg knows something we don’t—like how to direct wildfires away from his property. Is it coincidence, or did he whip out some Indiana Jones level booby traps to keep the flames at bay?
Hanks + Spielberg = Fireproof Friendship
Let’s not ignore the cosmic irony here. These two are basically Hollywood’s dynamic duo, collaborating on Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, and a laundry list of hits. Now their homes are teaming up for their own survival story. Somewhere, a fireman is probably saying, “That’s a wrap!”
The Fire Rages On
Meanwhile, the Palisades Fire isn’t playing around, torching over 17,000 acres and leaving a trail of destruction that even Michael Bay couldn’t replicate. Celebs are scrambling to book Airbnbs faster than you can say, “House swap?” But Spielberg and Hanks? They’re just sitting back, sipping on some vintage wine, and probably plotting their next blockbuster.
Moral of the Story?
If you’re a fire in Los Angeles, avoid Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg at all costs. These guys might just have a secret handshake with Lady Luck—or maybe it’s all those Saving Private Ryan good karma points paying off.
