Two-time Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks has received an honorary doctor of arts degree from Harvard University. Hanks (66) appeared at Harvard University to deliver commencement address to graduating students in Cambridge, Massachusetts, People reported.

Ivy League school conferred an honorary doctorate of arts upon actor as he joked that he had received degree "without having done lick of work, without having spent any time in class, without once walking into that library." "I don't know much about Latin, I have no real passion for enzymes and public global policy is something I scan in newspaper just before I do Wordle," he joked to graduates as he spoke at Harvard Yard's Tercentenary Theatre, before urging students to stand up against "Indifference of people who have been made weary by struggle."
