Tom Hanks sparked concern among his fans earlier this month, as he appeared to be struggling to contain the shaking of his arm.
The 65-year-old is in the midst of a promotional whirlwind for Baz Luhrmann's biopic of Elvis, in which Hanks stars as the singer's manager.
Luhrmann, who was born in Sydney, arranged for an Australian premier to be held in the city of Gold Coast, 50 miles south of Brisbane, where the filming took place.
Austin Butler, 30, who stars as The King, was at the June 4 event, along with Hanks.
'There is no better place in the world to make a motion picture than right here on the Gold Coast,' he said, microphone in his right hand, and left hand in his pocket.

I’m a healthy 65-year-old UNVAXXED pureblood American male.
These guys are all getting older now. Anyone seen or heard from Clint Eastwood these days.
steven tyler thought Elvis was a thief

Of course, Tyler has been an addict all his life ...recently went back to rehab
Didnt he go to Epstein Island many times
He had the shaking hand going in to the beach. I think it was due to his deployment to Italy.
don’t know but the only person that seems to be paying a price for Epstein is Prince Andrew.
And he is too arrogant and spoiled to understand that it would be better for his family and himself if he would stop pushing to be front and center
He was in movie years ago called the The Ladykillers, he had an atrocious southen accent. He needs to stay away from that.

Lisa Marie has blown all her money.
“Uhh...Hanks wasn’t actually there on D Day”.
Yes he was. I’ve seen the movie twice.
"(Elvis) had wanted to record it and I had been invited to come down to the studio to hear him and it was a couple of days before and Colonel Tom Parker – who was (Presley's) manager at the time – called and said 'Now you know Elvis don't record anything unless we get half the publishing'..."And I said 'well this has already been a hit for me and this is in my publishing company and I can't give you half of it', and he said 'well then we can't do it.'" "And I said well, 'I am really sorry to hear that because I already told everybody Elvis was doing my song' but I thought you know, I can't do it. And I didn't. So I thought: 'Well, it was just one of those first really hard business decisions I had to make.'"
That song, "I Will Always Love You," made Dolly zillions when Whitney Houston covers it for "The Bodyguard."
He has lost 50 pounds. Looks sickly but I guess it is to manage his diabetes
wow...dolly comes across as ditzy but she really is a smart business woman. Hard to turn down Elvis singing your song.
Priscilla is looking quite ghostly.
“These guys are all getting older now. Anyone seen or heard from Clint Eastwood these days”.
Clint is supposed to be in the South Pacific on an island with his new 34 year old girlfriend.
Cancelled? I don’t know about women but guys who do it wind up doing 3 to 5.
are you being obtuse on purpose
This was on a set with cast and crew. It was filmed.
People are getting canceled for doing stuff like this. his costar was sitting beside him
I never took it that he was ridiculing ‘conservatives’ I took it that he was ridiculing southern ‘rednecks’ who are both poor and not well educated.
That group may be conservative, but they in no way represent the broad range of conservative people.
I think a second aspect of the bit was actually ridiculing blacks. Hanks character was portrayed as a ‘stupid country bumpkin’, but his responses hit home as being the natural thinking of the black contestants. He was supposed to be a racist redneck, thus an object of scorn. But ‘Doug’ was up to matching the Blacks. So what does that say about them.
Watch it again and think of Doug not as a conservative, but just a country boy from the rural south.
