OTHER CELEBS

FIGHTING

COVID-19

are now resting at a rented home in Aus-

tralia where they remain under quarantine.

“They’re in good spirits,” says a source.

Two-time Oscar winner Hanks had been

prepping to play Elvis Presley’s manager

Colonel Tom Parker in the biopic, and so

far no one else affiliated with the film is

believed to have the virus. “We are aware

of only the one case of the coronavirus

amongst cast and crew and additionally the

cast member’s wife. Working closely with

the Queensland health department, we

have delayed our start date by approximate-

ly two weeks to allow for their full recovery,”

a film representative says, adding

that Luhrmann and his family are

in isolation at home in Australia.

Before becoming sick, Hanks and

Wilson had visited tourist attractions in

Sydney and even posed for selfies with fans

at Bondi Beach. The premier of Queensland

warned that anyone who had “come in close

contact with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

will now need to self-isolate and quaran-

tine.” Richard Wilkins, a TV journalist who

interviewed Wilson, contracted the virus

and said he was doing “very well.”

Hanks and Wilson, married almost 32

years, appeared upbeat throughout the

ordeal. (Their four kids were back in the U.S.

and hadn’t been in physical contact with

them for a few weeks.) Wilson, a

singer who performed in the area,

including at the Sydney Opera

House, posted that she had made

a quarantine playlist that includ-

ed songs such as Eric Carmen’s

“All by Myself,” Kelly Clarkson’s

“Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill

You)” and Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will

Survive.” Hanks also posted a photo of toast

topped with Australia’s famous Vegemite

spread and a stuffed kangaroo holding an

Australian flag from the hospital. “Thanks

to the helpers,” wrote Hanks, a reference

to Mister Rogers’s dictum about looking

for those helping in times of crisis. (Hanks

played Fred Rogers in last year’s A Beauti-

ful Day in the Neighborhood.) Meanwhile,

well-wishes from famous friends like

Reese Witherspoon and Jack Black poured

in, and comedian Whitney Cummings

tweeted, “It’s like it picked the celeb

we cared most about to make a point.”

Seeing

the Sights

Wilson and

Hanks took a

leisurely stroll

at Bondi Beach

on March 7,

before their

diagnosis.

Getting

Treatment

“We are taking it

one day at a time,”

Hanks wrote from

inside the Gold

Coast University

Hospital, where

he and Wilson

were isolated for

five days.
