Concerns over Tom Hanks' health after his last appearance on Saturday Night Live

Tom Hanks has become one of the most beloved actors in the world since the 1980s, with memorable performances in films such as "Splash", "Bachelor Party" and "Big".

For four decades, the films of the two-time Oscar winner for his performances in "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump", have been some of the highest-grossing films of their time.

But now, at 68 years old, the actor's appearance has left his fans worried, after a memorable appearance on the Saturday Night Live program.

Tom Hanks' appearance alongside several SNL legends

Hanks was present at the iconic show that celebrates its 50th anniversary and did so alongside other great acting figures such as Marty Short, Tuna Fey, Scarlett Johansson, Emma Stone, Paul Rudd, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig and John Mulaney.

During his appearance, several of his fans noticed the "Saving Private Ryan" actor's trembling hands, which has sparked a series of debates on social media.

"Is Tom Hanks' hand shaking?" commented one fan on SNL's official Instagram account, while another commented: "I noticed that too! And now I'm worried." "He was on the Graham Norton show a while ago and I noticed it there too..." posted one more.

While it is true that these health problems are probably related to his age, it is not the first time that the actor's health has been commented on, especially because of the trembling of his hands.

It is worth remembering that a couple of years ago, while promoting the movie "Elvis", Hanks could not control his right hand while holding a microphone.

What disease does Tom Hanks suffer from?

And it was precisely a couple of years ago when Hanks revealed that he suffered from type 2 diabetes, which alters the way the body uses glucose in the blood.

The generation of the disease is still unknown, but it can occur due to a number of generic factors, mainly affecting people who are overweight, obese and have hypertension, which can lead to problems with heart disease, as well as damaging the nerves and causing a delicate kidney problem.
