Jerry Seinfeld sparks fears for his health after fans spot worrying detail in his interview with Graham Bensinger
Fans have expressed their fears for Jerry Seinfeld’s health after spotting him shaking in a new interview.
The 70-year-old comedian’s appearance on In Depth with Graham Bensinger on Saturday prompted many to encourage him to see a doctor.
During the interview, which was recorded in late March, Jerry reflected on his impressive career and spoke admiringly about his family life.
But viewers couldn’t help but notice that he seemed to shake his head repeatedly during the conversation.
âGo to your doctor,â urged one person, expressing concern under a clip of the interview shared on Facebook.

âHe has a shake,â claimed another, while a third said: âWhen did he start having motor problems? Had no idea.’
A fourth feared he might have Parkinson’s and asked: Does Jerry Seinfeld have the onset of Parkinson’s or another condition? His head is shaking.â
Others expressed similar concerns with one commenting: âTake a closer look. He has Parkinson’s. Head shakes…’
Another asked: ‘Do I see a Parkinson’s remote control with his head???’
A tremor or uncontrollable movement is one of the best-known symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and may be the very first symptom to appear.
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world and there is currently no cure. However, knowing the symptoms of Parkinson’s can lead to earlier diagnoses and access to treatments that improve patients’ quality of life.
Around 90,000 Americans and 18,000 Britons are diagnosed with the condition every year, with charities estimating that one in 37 people alive today will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
Jerry did not respond to the comments.

The comedian joined Graham to promote his upcoming film Unfrosted.
During the interview, he discussed his marriage to author Jessica Seinfeld, 52, with whom he has children Sascha, 23, Julian, 21, and Shepherd, 18.
âI was a very successful comedian,â he said. ‘A comedian is one in one company. You think, “I don’t need anyone.” That’s what a comedian thinks. This is not a good partner.
‘Someone who thinks he doesn’t need anyone is not a good partner. This is why most comedians fail at marriage, or don’t even try. It’s really not for us. I wanted to do it to see if I could do something that I’m really not cut out for.
Speaking about his children, he added: ‘Children are the greatest show on earth, you just want to see them live. And the entertainment value of watching them try to live is…
“The children are very entertaining because they are primitive people.”
Jerry’s interview with Graham was filmed on March 27. “Fun afternoon spent filming an upcoming episode with Jerry Seinfeld!” Graham had said at the time

Last week, Jerry turned his ire on the politically correct “far left,” telling the New Yorker’s David Remnick that hypersensitivity has ruined the comedy.
The Seinfeld star said that while people crave comic relief, they can’t find it on TV.
On an episode of the New Yorker’s Radio Hour, he said, âNothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so much and they’re not getting it.’
He also fondly remembered the days when people would come home and turn on the TV to watch comedies like Cheers, MASH or All in the Family.
Jerry apparently doesn’t think that modern TV comedies can be compared to the classics of the 1970s and 1980s.
âWell, guess what? Where is it? Where is it? This is the result of the far left and PC c**p and people who worry so much about offending other people,â he added.
