Tom Hanks new “Corona” friend
We know that Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson were earlier diagnosed with Coronavirus but are now recovering in the States. So what is this “Corona” friend?
To put your mind at ease, he has not been re-infected with the virus but actually has befriended an eight-year-old from Australia because he has been bullied for his name.
And it just so happens that his name is Corona.
The kid said that he wrote to Tom because he knows what it’s like to feel down and he wanted to wish them well. And being the good man that he is, Tom, who is the voice of “Woody” the sheriff in the “Toy Story” movies responded by sending DeVries a typewritten letter and the Corona-branded typewriter that he had brought with him and used while filming then down in Australia. Hanks addressed the note to his “Friend Corona” and expressed his gratitude for having written to him and expressed concern about their health.
As reported, Tom and his wife Rita Wilson were in quarantine for a while but were released last month. The couple was in pre-production in Australia for the Baz Luhrmann film about Elvis Presley.
