( CNN ) We had no idea how much we would really , really , really , really like Tom Hanks lip-syncing to a Carly Rae Jepsen song , but we really do . Hanks shows up in the new video for `` I Really Like You , '' `` singing '' Jepsen 's part throughout . The Oscar-winning actor is apparently playing himself , signing autographs for fans , and generally being a very cheery movie star , before he and Jepsen take part in a flash mob . So what exactly is Tom Hanks doing in this video in the first place ? Turns out he is good friends with Scooter Braun , manager for Jepsen ( and Justin Bieber , who also appears in the video ) . He even sang and danced at Braun 's wedding . ABC reported that Hanks suggested himself to play the role , after Jepsen said it would be amusing for a man to lip-sync her song . The result , as you can see , is kind of magical .
