rooster59 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Tom Hanks returns to LA after bout of coronavirus - media reports FILE PHOTO: 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards – Arrivals – Los Angeles, California, U.S., January 19, 2020 – Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. REUTERS/Monica Almeida/File Photo LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson returned to Los Angeles on Friday after spending more than two weeks in quarantine in Australia after testing positive for the coronavirus. The "Forrest Gump" and "Toy Story" actor and Wilson were photographed smiling while driving a vehicle in the city. Celebrity website TMZ said the photographs were taken shortly after the pair landed at a small Los Angeles area airport. The New York Post's Page Six column said Hanks was seen touching the tarmac and dancing after getting off a private jet. Representatives for Hanks, 63, did not immediately return a request for comment. Hanks, a double Oscar winner and one of America's most beloved stars, and Wilson were the first big celebrities to announce they had tested positive for the disease, which has become a global epidemic with more than 27,000 deaths worldwide. They were treated in hospital in Australia and isolated themselves for a further period after leaving. Hanks' last posting on his Twitter account on Sunday said it had been two weeks since their first symptoms and that they were feeling better. Hanks was in Australia working on a movie about Elvis Presley when he announced on March 11 that he and Wilson had tested positive for the disease. Filming has since been shut down on the movie, and on hundreds of other film and television productions worldwide.

AussieBob18 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The lucky <xxxxxxxx> - I have to wait until I am old enough for the pension to escape. Something very odd about the fact that two 63 year olds have recovered completely so quickly -mmmmmm. He sure looks a lot younger than his wife - also very interesting.

NCC1701A Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) "You know Trump said it would not be so bad." "Tom don't let anyone hear you or we will never work again." Edited March 28, 2020 by NCC1701A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timendres Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Mr. Hanks described their symptoms as "fever, chills, and muscle aches". For being 63 years old, that sounds like a walk in the park. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorG Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I realize that they did a 2 week isolation in OZ but are they not required to do another 2 weeks after landing in the US? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
