Tom Hanks has always come across as one of the more likeable Hollywood A-listers, thanks largely to his propensity to have a bit of craic. 

He usually comes across well whenever he appears on a chat show and he certainly makes it easy for hosts to strike up a rapport with him.

One of the programmes Hanks frequently appears on is 'The Graham Norton Show' and it seems the two have developed quite a friendship in their time. 

While leafing through Tom's new book, 'Uncommon Type', Graham was taken aback by a personalised message left by the actor which reads "Graham screw you!" followed by a signature. 

So I see @tomhanks didn’t think I’d bother to read his brilliant new book #uncommontype Wrong! pic.twitter.com/PTz83HPMXx

The Corkman took to Twitter to share the light-hearted gag and he seems to have taken it well. Tom, you absolute messer.
