Nick Castellanos' brother has hilarious reaction to mistaking Bill Murray for Tom Hanks

Share

Bill Murray has been a fixture around Chicago sports for some time now. The Evanston native frequently attends Cubs games and isn't shy about showing off his fandom. 

Unlike Murray, outfielder Nick Castellanos is a newer fixture to the Cubs, joining the team on July 31 ahead of MLB's trade deadline. The two crossed paths Thursday in New York following the Cubs' sweep of the playoff-hopeful Mets. However, based on a screenshot Castellanos posted on Instagram, not everyone is aware of who Murray is.

Yep, that's right. Castellanos' brother, Ryan, mistook Murray for one Tom Hanks. In defense of Ryan, some of us aren't big-time movie buffs, though both Murray and Hanks ARE pretty iconic individuals.

Ryan took the whole thing in stride, making fun of himself in the process. While the second part of his statement isn't true, the Cubs were quick to point out that Ryan may be onto something with the first part.

It's okay, Ryan. We'd still invite you to a movie-themed trivia night.
