Is actor Tom Hanks facing a health condition that will cause him to 'spend the remainder of his life in and out of hospitals'?
Tom Hanks, who was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 2013 and COVID-19 in 2020, has reportedly managed both diseases. There is no evidence of other health issues facing the actor, and his wife, Rita Wilson, has made no statement about his health, contrary to a claim in a social media post.
The post includes photos of Hanks lying in a hospital bed, appearing pale and weakened. The photos are not real -- they are from the 1993 movie "Philadelphia," in which Hanks played a lawyer fired due to his HIV/AIDS diagnosis.
The post leads readers to click on a link, which goes to an article titled "Celebrities Who Have Been Living With Hidden Health Conditions." The section about Hanks makes no mention of a condition that would leave him "in and out of hospitals" for the rest of his life, as the post states.
