“I’m not surprised that my daughter had the wherewithal as well as the curiosity to examine this thing that I think she was incredibly honest about,” Hanks told Access Hollywood on Wednesday, May 26. “We all come from checkered, cracked lives, all of us.”

“She’s a knockout, always has been,” he continued. “If you’ve had kids, you realize that you see who they are when they’re about 6 weeks old.”

“Their personality is on display right there,” the “Cast Away” actor added, “their temper, the way they see the world is demonstrated in their body language and on their face.”

E.A. Hanks, who the “Big” star shared with his late ex-wife Samantha Lewes, published her surprising memoir on April 8.

Short for Elizabeth Anne, E.A. opened up about her rocky early years and the “violence” and “deprivation” she experienced growing up as the only daughter of two Hollywood icons.

“I am a kid from the First (non-famous) Marriage,” Hanks’ 42-year-old daughter wrote in her memoir. “My only memories of my parents in the same place at the same time are Colin’s high school graduation, then my high school graduation.”

“I have one picture of me standing between my parents,” she added. “In it, my mother’s best wig is slightly askew.”

E.A.’s mother, whose real name was Susan Dillingham, passed away from lung cancer in 2002 at the age of 49.
