Tom Hanks, the beloved American actor, continues to captivate audiences with his talent and charm. Recently, fans have expressed concern after noticing him struggling to control the shaking of his arm. Speculations about his health have circulated, with some suggesting he may be dealing with a condition like Parkinson’s. However, it is crucial to note that Hanks has been actively promoting his new movie, a biopic of Elvis, where he portrays the role of the singer’s manager.
Directed by Baz Luhrmann, the film was shot in Brisbane, Australia. Luhrmann, who hails from Sydney, chose to premiere the movie along the Gold Coast, just fifty miles away from Brisbane. On June 4, 2022, Hanks attended the premiere alongside the movie’s star, Austin Butler, who brings Elvis Presley to life on the big screen.
During the premiere, Hanks shared his deep admiration for the Gold Coast, declaring, “There is no better place in the world to make a motion picture than right here on the Gold Coast.” However, while addressing the audience, his hand holding the microphone began shaking uncontrollably, causing concern among fans. Hanks tried to steady the shake by placing his left hand on the microphone and even switched hands to give his right hand a break from the aggressive shaking.
Despite these visible signs, the audience seemed unaware of Hanks’s apparent health concerns. He continued to engage with the crowd, expressing gratitude for the wonderful time they had on the Gold Coast and praising Baz Luhrmann’s love for Australia. However, he has not publicly addressed the issue with his shaking hand.
Following the premiere, Hanks returned to the United States for the film’s premiere at Graceland in Tennessee on June 11, 2022. The movie received positive feedback, with Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis’s daughter, commending Luhrmann and Butler for their portrayal of her father.
While there are concerns about Tom Hanks’s health, it is essential for us to support him and continue to enjoy his incredible talent on the big screen. Let us celebrate his achievements and look forward to the memorable performances he will bring us in the future.
