When presented with an opportunity to go to space with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, Tom Hanks had a simple answer — no, thanks.

The award-winning actor shared he turned down a spot on the company’s latest suborbital sightseeing trip during an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Of course that seat later went to William Shatner.

The reason? Hanks says it mainly came down to the experience not being worth the price tag! Whoa!

“You know it costs like 28 million bucks, or something like that, and I’m doing good Jimmy, I’m doing good — but I ain’t paying 28 million bucks,” he said. “You know what? We could simulate the experience of going to space right now.”

If you have the cash and are interested in hitching a ride to space with the company, you can reserve a spot online. All you’ll need to do is provide your name, email and phone number to be able to get updates on upcoming flights.  I think I’m in the same simulator with Tom Hanks on this one! What would you be willing to spend 28 million on if you had the cash? See the interview below. Courtesy: YouTube
