There is nothing to indicate that Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks have ever actually been in a romantic relationship in real life, and both were married for the substantial duration of their working relationship — Hanks to Rita WilsonRyan Dennis Quaid. However, the Chemistry between themTheir chemistry on screen is radiant. This is why so many of their films have become cult classics. The close bond they share, even though it isn’t romantic, is a key reason for their chemistry. Ryan says Hanks is an example of kindness.
“He’s just so easy,”Ryan spoke in 2018 of Hanks Today. “He listens; he roots for other people.” She added that, unlike many other notoriously arrogant Hollywood big-wigs, Hanks “doesn’t like there to be drama. … We’re just really there to have fun, this is supposed to be a creative experience and there’s no reason to get heavy.”
Hanks seems to feel exactly the same about Ryan, according to Hanks. CNN in 1998 – while promoting “You’ve Got Mail” — that working with Ryan was “not like work. I mean, now, the vast majority of making movies is getting over your self-consciousness.”
