Tom Hanks has been left red-faced after he was forced to deny claims that he supports cannabis oil.
The Hollywood star, 64, slammed the cannabis company called CannaPro CBD for advertising with a fake endorsement quote next to a 2016 picture of the two-time Oscar winner.
Taking to Twitter to defend himself, the 'Castaway' actor assured his 30 million fans that he doesn't support the use of drugs.
He wrote: "This is false and an intentional hoax."
"I've never said this and would never make such an endorsement. Come on, man!"
The unrealistic advert which features Hanks' face above reads a 'fake' statement from the 64-year-old.
It begins: "The advances Doctor Oz has made in the CBD industry are remarkable".
"I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't of gotten the chance to try it out for myself."
It continues:" After using CannaPro CBD for the past two weeks, I feel like a new man".
Although Tom didn't find the whole scenario in the least bit funny, his celebrity friends couldn't get enough of his misfortune.
'The Holiday' actor and much-loved comedian Jack Black was one of the first to comment under the fabricated ad, as he wrote:
"Dr Oz up to his old shennanigans again".
And American Tv personality and journalist Katie Couric commented:
"Yes and I never endorsed any wrinkle cream although I could probably use some!".
This comes after Hanks has received his first Oscar nomination in 19 years.
The Hollywood actor, 63, made it to the Academy Awards shortlist last week for the first time since 2001.
He's landed a nod for the 2020 ceremony in the best supporting actor category for his for his part in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.
The star was last nominated for Best Actor in 2001 for his role as Chuck Noland in Cast Away.
He was previously nominated for four Academy Awards, two of which he won.
Hanks took home the Best Actor award for the 1995 classic Forrest Gump, as well as his role in 1994 film Philadelphia as Andrew Beckett.
