Tom Hanks fans fear for actor’s health as he’s unable to control shaking hand on stage

Tom Hank was making a speech at the movie premiere of Baz Luhrmann's biopic of Elvis when he had to clutch his microphone with both hands to stop them from shaking

Tom Hanks fans are concerned for the actor's health after he was unable to control his shaking right hand while on stage earlier this month.

The Forrest Gump actor, 65, was promoting Baz Luhrmann's biopic of Elvis, in which he stars as the singer's manager.

The movie premiere was held in Sydney, Australia, where filming took place.

Standing on the stage in front of an audience, Tom began: "There is no better place in the world to make a motion picture than right here on the Gold Coast."

"I've shot films in Morocco and Los Angeles and New York City and Seattle and in Berlin," he continued, while holding the microphone in his right hand.

"None of them have what the Gold Coast have, and what is that? Two words. None of those other cities have Dan Murphy.

"What a man, who I got to know quite well."

Tom's hand was visibly shaking by this point, and he made an attempt for it to stop.

He placed his left hand underneath the microphone, before trying to switch hands completely.

The award-winning Hollywood star concluded: "We had an absolutely magnificent time with you all.

"There is something about the people and the place of the Gold Coast that makes everyone walk around with a confident look on their face. We were a part of that.

"Your confidence, joy and zest for life comes through in our motion picture.

"You have a wonderful proactive golden son in Baz Luhrmann who loves Australia more than kangaroos, more than Dan Murphy."

Fans have started to speculate about Tom's health on social media after the video clip went viral.

Over on Twitter, one person wrote: "God forbid it could just be adrenaline and nerves!"

A second concerned fan added: "I love Tom Hanks. Saw him on screen recently and thought he looked very thin. Hope he's ok."

"He does seem like he has aged all of a sudden - lost weight," a third commented.

A fourth suggested: "Unfortunately his declining health points to possibly Parkinson's."

And a fifth wrote: "He's diabetic. This happens to my mom when she gets low blood sugar."

The Mirror has contacted Tom's representative for a comment.
