Actor Tom Hanks and wife, tests positive to coronavirus
Hollywood actor, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have
tested positive for coronavirus while filming in Australia.
The 63-year-old
Academy Award-winning actor who is currently on the Gold Coast in Queensland
filming Baz Luhrmann’s untitled production about Elvis Presley, made the
announcement via Instagram.
Tom Hanks revealed
that they tested positive for coronavirus after feeling “a bit tired, like we
had colds”.
He wrote;
Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in
Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita
had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as
is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were
found to be positive.
Well, now. What to
do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’
will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety
requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?
We’ll keep the
world posted and updated.
Take care of
yourselves!
Hanx!
Warner Bros confirmed the actor was in Australia doing
pre-production work on a film about singer Elvis Presley.
The entertainment
company said in a statement;
"We are working closely with the
appropriate Australian health agencies to identify and contact anyone who may
have come in direct contact with the individual.
"The health
and safety of our company members is always our top priority, and we are taking
precautions to protect everyone who works on our productions around the
world."
Hanks will be playing
Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker in the movie. Actor Austin Butler is
playing Presley.
