KEY POINTS:
Tom Hanks attended the premiere of his new movie - and outed himself as an unlikely Aston Villa football fan. Hanks, 51, stars alongside Julie Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman in Charlie Wilson's War, based on a true story of "the most successful covert operation in history".
He plays congressman Wilson, who secretly assisted rebels in Afghanistan in their war with the Soviets. But the actor swapped politics for football by wearing an Aston Villa scarf, because he "likes the team".
