Appearing on the BBC’s The Jonathan Ross Show over the weekend to promote his new film Captain Phillips, Hanks enlisted the help of his friend and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close co-star Sandra Bullock to recreate the memorable scene from the 1988 film in which Hanks played a boy trapped in the body of a grown man.

After Ross rolled out a large keyboard carpet, Hanks and the talk show host jokingly “played” a much more elaborate piece with their feet before Hanks was joined by Bullock.

When Hanks suggested Bullock, 49, might not be able to do “Chopsticks” in high heels, she assured him, “I can do ‘Chopsticks’ in my heels.”

Turns out, that’s not all Bullock can do. The actress, who was on the show promoting her new film Gravity, earlier showed off her rapping skills. After explaining to Ross how she knows almost all the words to “Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang, Bullock bust out with the lyrics to the classic rap song.
