"And then word came down, 'Hey, run this up to Cher's room,' so I did. I knocked on the door and I put it down and you came out and said, 'Yeah, that's it. Thanks, kid.' And that was it."
He calculated that the encounter happened in 1975 or 1976.
Hanks admitted he's a fan of the singer, telling her that Mamma Mia! 2 was "motion picture perfection."
He said he carried the singer's bag to her room where she was staying with 'one of her rock and roll husbands'. Getty
Chalamet added his own thoughts on Cher, giving a shout out to her Oscar-winning performance in Moonstruck, while Roberts called out her work in Silkwood.
"I think we should all go to the theatre and watch Cher's movies right now," Hanks added.
