"The only thing I'm going to get arrested for is being too charming."

These are the words of Tom Hanks, as he cheerfully leaves Jimmy Kimmel's studio on his way to carry out a very important dare: steal a life-size cutout of himself from a nearby souvenir store.

The theft itself is wonderfully chaotic, and involves Hanks casually making friends with passers-by as he charges past them on the way to complete his mission.

Needless to say, he nails it.
