YouTubers Wesley Chang and Philip Wang are amassing a big following on YouTube via the duo’s Wong Fu Productions YouTube channel, and have recently launched the new online series “Single By 30” on YouTube Red.
Expect that following to grow even bigger thanks to this video, in which the pair jetted to Florence, Italy, to meet with “Inferno” star Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard (who is actually their boss, co-founder of New Form Digital, the production studio behind “Single By 30”).

The purpose of the visit: to entice Hanks to recreate his iconic “shimmy shimmy cocoa pop” rap from the 1988 classic “Big” — which he does, spectacularly!
“These two are living legends and it was an honour to meet them in person and encouraging to see how humble and kind they were,” they wrote in a note accompanying the video. “We really have not been this nervous in years. Thank you Tom and Ron for all you’ve given us over the years.”
