Tom Hanks, a highly cherished actor since the 1980s, is known for his iconic roles in classic films including “Splash“, “Bachelor Party“, and “Big“.
For the last forty years, the renowned actor, who has received two Oscars for “Philadelphia” and “Forrest Gump“, has featured in several blockbuster films.
At the age of 68, Hanks sparked concern among fans with his recent display during a Saturday Night Live appearance.
Tom Hanks’ appearance with SNL legends
Joining the cast of the 50th anniversary celebration of the famous show, Hanks shared the stage with notable performers like Marty Short, Tina Fey, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Paul Rudd, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, and John Mulaney.
During this event, many viewers observed Hanks’ hands trembling, leading to speculations on social media.
One Instagram user commented, “Is Tom Hanks’ hand shaking?” Another chimed in with concern, noting they had seen it on the Graham Norton show as well.
These health concerns, likely connected to his age, are not new, as the shaking hands have been previously noted.
A couple of years ago, while promoting the film “Elvis“, Hanks struggled to control his right hand when holding a microphone.
