Tom Hanks appeared on this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live and fans noticed the veteran actor’s shaking hands
One fan commented under a promotional post on SNL’s official Instagram account: “Is Tom Hanks’ hand shaking?”
Meanwhile, someone reasoned, “Considering he’s almost seventy! Yes, older people’s hands tend to shake a little.’
This isn’t the first time fans have been concerned about the Hollywood leading man’s shaking hands.
In June 2022, he appeared unable to control his shaking right hand as he held a microphone and spoke while promoting Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis film.
Hanks tried to control the shaking by placing his left hand at the bottom of the microphone, below his right hand. He also briefly switched hands.
Lisa Kudrow recently criticized Tom’s new film Here and condemned its use of digital aging.
The 61-year-old actress said the new fantasy drama film was an “endorsement for AI.”
The film, released on October 25, reunited Hanks with Forrest Gump co-star Robin Wright in a multi-generational story, portraying the cast as their characters across different eras.
It followed last year’s SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, which called for regulation of the modern technology.

The Friends star appeared on a recent episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast and blasted Hank and director Robert Zemeckis’ film.
“They shot it, and they were able to actually shoot the scene and then watch it as a younger person, and it’s ready for them to see,” she explained on the podcast.
“And all I got from that was, this is a show of support for AI and oh, my God. It’s not like, “Oh, it’s going to ruin everything,” but what’s left? Forget actors, what about emerging actors? It’s just about permits and recycling,” she argued.
Kudrow continued, “Leaving that entirely aside, what work will there be for man? What then?
‘There will be some kind of livelihood for the people, so you don’t have to work? How can it ever be enough?’
