Taking care of your health is important – and Hollywood stars are no exception. Steve Martin and Martin Short have a long history of collaborating on the big and small screen: from ’90s films like Father of the Bride to the Emmy-winning TV series Only Murders in the Building.
But when it comes to Tom Hanks, who starred in some of the best movies of all time, the three of them do a… different kind of collaboration together. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Martin, 72, and Short, 68, revealed they have biannual “colonoscopy nights” with Hanks and their other friend, Walter Parks.
“We’re very excited,” Short said. “We go to Steve’s around 5 p.m. the day before. We call it “Coloscopy Eve” in Canada. Colonoscopies are a medical procedure where the colon is checked for any abnormalities or cellular changes that could indicate health issues like cancer. In the United States, it is recommended to get regular colonoscopies starting at age 45.
“And it’s taken care of,” added Martin. “There’s Jell-O, you know, there’s not much you can (eat). We have to purge all day and then we toast. We said to ourselves, everyone at our age… at a certain age, we want to have a colonoscopy. We all came, we played poker and we watched a funny movie and you drink it all.
Short then joked, “The shocking thing is with Steve, you know, he’s a rich man. Who would think he would have a bathroom? I mean, at 10 p.m. the bathroom looks like day 14 of a Carnival cruise.
