Actor Tom Hanks set to win big after backing Leicester City at 5000-1

Tom Hanks. The guy who played Captain John H. Miller in Saving Private Ryan reportedly placed £100 on Leicester City to win the league at the start of the season.

Mr Forrest Gump himself admitted that he can cope with his team Aston Villa's relegation because of the £100 he had on Leicester to win the Premier League.

So that means if Tom Hanks actually placed £100 on Claudio Ranieri's side to win the league, that would return £500,000 at 5000-1.

Even for Hanks, who is most likely a multi-millionaire, that sort of money is outrageous. Here is footage of Hanks admitting that he put '100 quid on'

Leicester are just one win away from securing the Premier League crown.
