Tom Hanks recreates rap from 'Big'

FLORENCE, Italy, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- While promoting his new film Inferno, Tom Hanks perfectly recreated the "shimmy shimmy cocoa pop" rap from the 1988 movie Big.

YouTube star Philip Wang, half of the Wong Fu Productions duo, and Hanks performed the rap, which fans might remember from the scene in Big when Hanks' grown-up character proves his identity to his best friend by reciting the verse.

Wesley Chan, Wong Fu's other half, and director Ron Howard looked on in amazement as Wang and Hanks flawlessly recited the rap, which Hanks then revealed he took from his kids' summer camp.

Chan and Wang admitted to Hanks and Howard that they were more nervous meeting them than Barack Obama.

"Get out," Hanks said.

"You guys need to get your priorities straight," Howard laughed.

Inferno, directed by Howard, features Hanks as Robert Langdon, the character he made popular in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

Inferno premieres in theaters on Friday.
