Award winning actor Tom Hanks has a huge chance of winning an Oscar again but also had some bad news of learning he has type 2 diabetes.

The Telegraph UK reports that the 57-year-old actor must have gotten the disease due to his need to lose and gain weight on and off for various roles according to doctors. It was during his interview with a late night show that he shared he was recently diagnosed of Type 2 diabetes.

It can be recalled how he has decided to transform his own body to play various roles in his career run. Doing such certainly has its own rewards like letting him earn two Oscars for Best Actor but it also has its own consequences that put his own health at risk.
