Tom Hanks’ bespoke Airstream
When on set whilst filming some of his most famous movies, Tom Hanks liked to relax in his custom Airstream. The 1992 Model 34 Limited trailer was bought by the actor as an empty shell that he completely customised inside. The two-time Oscar winner snapped up his home on wheels in 1993, but this summer he put it up for auction with Bonhams and it went under the hammer in August.

Not the most luxurious of trailers, Hanks got tired of staying in generic movie trailers and wanted his own place to call home. “I got it in the days when movies moved slower. I had spent too much time in regular trailers with ugly décor and horribly uncomfortable furniture, so I decided to buy a brand-new Airstream shell with an interior made to my own request,” the actor told Bonhams.
