When Jeff Bezos offered the Oscar-winning actor the opportunity to board a Blue Origin flight, he told the billionaire it was too expensive, Hanks said, during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The 65-year-old actor said he's doing well financially, but wouldn't pay "about US$28mil" (RM116mil) for a 12-minute flight.
