outraged over rumors about the actor’s health amid circulation of a video that shows him shaking onstage at the Australian premiere of his new film “Elvis.”In the just-released footage, recorded June 4, Hanks’ hands can be seen trembling as he appeared to struggle to keep a steady hold on a microphone — as the crowd laughs and cheers for his witty words.
The 65-year-old film legend — who went public with his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis in 2013 — moved the mike back and forth between his shaking hands.
At several points he attempted to hold the device with both hands as he spoke to his rapt audience. Hanks — who co-stars as svengali Colonel Tom Parker opposite Austin Butler’s Elvis in Baz Luhrmann’s controversial biopic — didn’t make mention of his obvious tremor as he addressed the crowd.
Reps for Hanks’ camp have yet to respond to The Post’s request for comment. However, fans of the “Forrest Gump” icon have flocked to social media saying international speculation about his health is inaccurate — and inappropriate. “He’s still one of the best actors left … his health is his business,” one declared.
