Famous actor Tom Hanks has arrived in Birmingham to witness the last game of the season at Villa Park. He is there to support his favorite team, Aston Villa, as they go head to head with Liverpool.

In a pre-game footage, Hanks expressed his excitement for the upcoming match, stating that he was eagerly anticipating it as it marked the second to last game of the season.

The game began with a lot of excitement, when the goalkeeper of Villa named Emi Martinez unfortunately made a mistake and the ball accidentally ended up in his own net, giving Liverpool the advantage to score 1-0.

However, when Youri Tielemans responded, the game was tied and Hanks stood up from his chair to give an applause, which was recorded by the cameras.

The blog section could be rewritten in simpler language as: The most exciting part of the game happened when Villa came back after being behind 3-1. Jhon Duran scored two amazing goals to tie up the game 3-3. Hanks was shocked and couldn't believe it when Villa scored the equalizing goal right at the end of the game.

Tom Hanks, a renowned actor in Hollywood, visited Birmingham to witness the Aston Villa and Liverpool match.

Hanks recorded a clip of himself at Villa Park, where he was merrily observing the second-to-last match.

Hanks stood up and applauded when Tielemans scored a goal during the first half of the match.

Hanks has been a devoted follower of Aston Villa for a considerable amount of time, which he mentioned during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden in 2019. The British comedian was confused as to why a famous celebrity like Hanks would favor what he deemed a 'random team'.

According to Hanks, Aston Villa is definitely not an unknown team. However, he shared a story about his first visit to the UK when he was a young man and dealing with jet lag.

I woke up early on my initial morning in London and eagerly opened the curtains. It was already June and the weather was lovely. However, as I looked out, I was taken aback by the deserted streets and park. It dawned on me that it was only five-ten in the morning, indicated by the sunrise.

When I looked for something to do, I decided to switch on the BBC and check the latest football scores. Unfortunately, I had no idea where most of the teams being mentioned were located. Some of the results I heard included Swansea crushing Stoke City 6-0 and Blackfoot defeating Tottenham on Twixby 5-3. I was completely lost until I finally heard the announcer say "Aston Villa 2..."

I thought to myself, "What a wonderful holiday destination - Aston Villa!" The villas there are stunning, and opening the French doors gives you a breathtaking view of Aston's gorgeous harbor below.

So, as it happens, the location of the team is Birmingham. I think Birmingham is fine, nothing inherently wrong with the place. However, it's not known for its relaxed environment, if you catch my drift. For this reason, I became a committed fan of Aston Villa. I've had the opportunity to watch them play only once, during a friendly match in the United States. Nonetheless, I can confidently say that I endorse them.
