		</div><p>Tom Hanks has admitted he was a “total idiot” for eating an unhealthy diet when he was younger, which he blames for his diabetes diagnosis.</p>
<p>The Oscar-winning actor, 59, revealed in 2013 that he had been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.</p>
<p>He told the Radio Times: “I’m part of the lazy American generation that has blindly kept dancing through the party and now finds ourselves with a malady.</p>
<p>“I was heavy. You’ve seen me in movies, you know what I looked like. I was a total idiot.</p>
<p>“I thought I could avoid it by removing the buns from my cheeseburgers. Well, it takes a little bit more than that.”</p>
<p>However, Tom – who is married to actress Rita Wilson – is hopeful that he can beat the disease.</p>
<p>“My doctor says if I can hit a target weight, I will not have Type 2 diabetes any more,” he said.</p>
<p>The actor became a father at 21 and said that starting a family at such an early age meant that he never became a “s**tfaced artist”.</p>
<p>Tom, now a father-of-four, said: “I’m lucky. I was in charge of offspring at a very early age, so I didn’t have the luxury of being able to get stoned a lot. And I never drank too much. I was never what I call a s**tfaced artist.”</p>
<p>The actor said he doesn’t regret that because he didn’t think it was more fun to be intoxicated or stoned.</p>
<p>“I thought it was more fun just to be seeing what was going on. I did my share, but it didn’t become a habit,” he said.</p>
<p>This week’s Radio Times is on sale from Tuesday, May 17.</p>
