Recent public appearances by Tom Hanks have supporters worried about his health. Tom Hanks, who is “extremely skinny,” was photographed promoting the new biopic Elvis, which chronicles the life and times of Elvis Presley, and has “trembling hands.”
The celebrity has already discussed how he believes making significant weight adjustments has impacted his health.
The Forrest Gump actor, who will appear on British television today at 3:45 p.m. during a screening of Apollo 13, previously performed in front of an Australian audience at the Gold Coast, which is located 50 miles south of Brisbane.
The legend seemed to have the majority of the audience spellbound, but after a video surfaced of the celebrity briefly clutching his microphone while his hands shook, several people turned to the internet to criticize his appearance.
“With the shaky hands, his noticeable weight loss, and losing his anger so openly, even for good reason, one must ask if, health-wise, he is well,” one user on Twitter said. I hope so.
He is legendary. Others, though, have dismissed worries after the celebrity was caught on camera firmly pulling a fan away last week. According to Judi James, a body language specialist, “His body language here conveys anything but weakness.”
It hasn’t been determined whether the shaking is related to the weight reduction, although the celebrity has previously acknowledged that dramatic weight changes may have contributed to his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.
On the talk program hosted by David Letterman in 2013, the Castaway actor revealed his illness to the world.
“I went to the doctor, and he said, “You know those high blood sugar readings you’ve been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you’ve earned a degree! Young male, you have type 2 diabetes.
He gave a speech for Captain Phillips in front of the London Film Festival not long after his appearance on Letterman’s show. The actor claimed he won’t be taking on any more parts that call for significant weight shifts and went on to describe the potential causes of his issue.
Because people with Type 2 diabetes eat a lot of unhealthy foods and don’t exercise, weight gain and loss may have contributed to the disease.
“I’ve spoken to a number of performers who have put on weight for parts, and everyone says they don’t want to do it again because of the physical toll it takes on their knees and shoulders. I believe the game is primarily played by young men.
“I’m 57 and I don’t think I’m going to get a job, or even take another vacation, and make sure that I put on 30 pounds.”
Hanks reportedly shed more than three stone in order to portray the part of a guy abandoned alone on an island convincingly for the 2000 movie Castaway.
