TOM HANKS - HANKS GETS FIT AFTER WILLIAMS' HEART OPERATION

HANKS GETS FIT AFTER WILLIAMS' HEART OPERATION

Hollywood star TOM HANKS has been scared into shape by pal ROBIN WILLIAMS' recent heart scare, and he's hired a new chef to help him stay trim.
Williams was forced to undergo heart surgery to replace a valve in March (09) after falling ill on a comedy tour.
Sources claim the scare shook Hanks into getting a check-up himself, and his doctor warned him that yo-yoing dieting for film roles was damaging his health.
An insider tells the National Enquirer, "Tom's new chef travelled with him on the Angels & Demons press junket. Robin's heart surgery really drove home the point to Tom that if he wants to enjoy middle age, he'd better start taking care of himself.
"At home and on the road, his full-time meal maestro cooks steamed or broiled chicken, fish and lots of vegetables. Tom's favourite cookie-dough ice cream is now a no no."
