Hollywood star Tom Hanks, tipped for another Oscar in Captain Phillips, says he has Type 2 diabetes possibly thanks to weight fluctuations on screen.
"I went to the doctor and he said, 'You know those high blood sugar numbers you've been dealing with since you were 36? Well, you've graduated. You've got Type 2 diabetes, young man,'" Hanks shared.

During his career Hanks, who has won two Best Actor Oscars, for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, has transformed his body to play characters authentically several times.
