Tom Hanks plays a character that is older and heavier than he is in real life so he's in very realistic special effects makeup that includes a fat suit. It's never acknowledged or used as a joke that he's in one though.

Yes, but not used to ridicule characters. Harry Melling, who plays Dudley, was a kid when the filming started. Dudley is overweight, Harry Melling wasn’t, and you can’t exactly ask an eleven year old to gain a lot of weight for a movie, so he wore a fat suit.
But his weight isn’t a point of ridicule.
