Tom Hanks has sparked new health concerns among fans after appearing on “Saturday Night Live!” During the weekend.
The Oscar-winning actor, 68, appeared on the show to support host Martin Short, alongside stars Scarlett Johansson, Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Alec Baldwin, Kristen Wiig and John Mulaney.
But shortly after he appeared during the Five-Timers Club segment of the show, fans were quick to spot the “Forrest Gump” actor shaking hands.
Viewers took to social media to raise concerns about Hanks' health, with one fan writing: “Is Tom Hanks' hand shaking?”
Another added: “I noticed that too!!! Now I'm worried,” while a third wrote: “Is Tom Hanks okay?”
“He was on The Graham Norton Show a while ago and I noticed it there too,” another fan wrote, while a fifth jumped to the actor's defence, writing: “Considering he's almost 70! Yes old people's hands tend to shake a little.
The Post has reached out to Hanks' representatives for comment.
This is not the first time the actor's trembling hands have raised concerns among fans on social media.
In June 2022, a video showing Hanks' hands shaking on stage during the Australian premiere of “Elvis” went viral on social media.
In the video, the Hollywood star's hands were seen shaking, as he appeared to struggle to keep his footing on the microphone.
Hanks – who announced his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2013 – moved the microphone back and forth between his trembling hands, before attempting to hold the device with both hands as he spoke to the audience.
However, fans flocked to social media at the time to shut down speculation about the actor's health.
“He's still one of the best actors left… his health is his main concern,” said one fan Written on X.
Another fan added that the star's unsteady hands are likely due to diabetes and should not be a cause for concern.
“He is diabetic. This happens to my mother when she has low blood sugar,” they wrote.
Hanks announced his diabetes diagnosis during an interview on the “Late Show with David Letterman” in 2013.
“I went to the doctor and he said, 'Do you know those high blood sugar numbers you've been dealing with since you were 36?'” Hanks said at the time. “'Well, I graduated!' You have type 2 diabetes, young man.
In a later interview with Radio Times, Hanks said he was “a complete idiot” about his self-care before the diagnosis.
He said: “I am part of the lazy American generation that kept dancing blindly during the party, and now we find ourselves infected with a disease.” “I was heavy. You've seen me in the movies, and you know what I looked like. I was a complete idiot. I thought I could avoid that by removing the buns from my cheeseburger.”
