Fans have expressed fears for Jerry Seinfeld’s health after seeing him shake in a new interview.
The 70-year-old comedian’s appearance on In Depth with Graham Bensinger on Saturday led many to encourage him to go see a doctor.
During the interview, which was filmed in late March, Jerry reflected on his impressive career and spoke adoringly about his family life.
But viewers couldn’t help but notice how he seemed to repeatedly shake his head during the entire conversation.
“Go see your doctor,” urged one, who expressed concern beneath a clip of the interview shared on Facebook.
Jerry Seinfeld has sparked concerns for his health after he appeared to show signs of shaking in a new interview.
The 70-year-old comedian was the latest celebrity guest to appear on In Depth with Graham Bensinger.
“He has a tremor,” said another, while a third said, “When did he start having motor problems?” ‘He had no idea.’
A fourth feared he might have Parkinson’s and asked: Does Jerry Seinfeld have the beginnings of Parkinson’s or some other condition? His head shakes.
Others echoed the same concerns, with one commenting: ‘Look closely. He has Parkinson’s. The head shakes…’
Another asked: ‘Am I watching a Parkinson’s remote with his head???’
A tremor or uncontrollable movement is one of the best-known signs of Parkinson’s and may be the first symptom to appear.
Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological disease 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 each year, and charities estimate that one in 37 people alive today will be diagnosed in their lifetime.
Jerry has not addressed the comments.
DailyMail.com has contacted its representatives for comment.
During his appearance, Jerry reflected on his impressive career and spoke adoringly about his family life.
The comedian joined Graham to promote his upcoming film, Unfrosted.
During the interview he spoke about his marriage to author Jessica Seinfeld, 52, with whom he has children Sascha, 23, Julian, 21, and Shepherd, 18.
“I was a very successful comedian,” he said. ‘A comedian is an actor in a single act. You think “I don’t need anyone.” That’s what a comedian thinks. This is not a good partner.
‘Someone who believes they don’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 I’m not really cut out for.
Speaking of his children, he added: “Children are the greatest show in the world, you just want to see them live.” And the entertainment value of watching them try to live is…
“Children are very entertaining because they are primitive humans.”
Jerry’s interview with Graham was filmed on March 27. ‘Fun afternoons years working on filming an upcoming episode with Jerry Seinfeld!’ Graham had said at the time
Jerry pictured with his wife Jessica and their three children: Sascha, 23, Julian, 21, and Shepherd, 18.
Last week, Jerry directed his ire at the politically correct “far left,” telling the New Yorker’s David Remnick that oversensitivity has ruined comedy.
The Seinfeld star said that although people crave comic relief, they can’t find it on television.
On an episode of the New Yorker’s Radio Hour, he said, ‘Nothing really affects comedy. People always need it. They need it so bad and they don’t get it.’
He also fondly remembered the days when people would come home and turn on the television to watch comedies like Cheers, MASH or All in the Family.
Apparently, Jerry doesn’t think any modern TV comedy compares to the classics of the ’70s and ’80s.
‘Well guess what? Where is? Where is? “This is a result of the far left and the PC and people who care so much about offending other people,” she added.
