The novel coronavirus has made its rounds worldwide after first emerging in the Wuhan, Hubei, province in China back in 2019 — and today’s biggest stars are not immune.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson were among the first high-profile names to test positive for COVID-19. On March 11, the Academy Award winner shared the symptoms the couple experienced during their time in Australia, where Hanks was working on pre-production for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic.
“We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches,” the Forrest Gump actor said of he and Wilson. “Rita had some chills that came and went.”
On March 16, Us Weekly confirmed that Hanks and Wilson were released from the hospital. The pair, who have been married for 30 years, rented a home in Australia before flying back to the U.S.
Nearly a week after Hanks and Wilson’s diagnosis was confirmed, Idris Elba announced that he contracted the virus as well. He revealed via Twitter on Monday that he decided to get tested after learning that an individual he was in contact with tested positive on March 13.
The day after speaking out, the English actor shared that Hanks’ confession inspired him to speak about his own condition. “I’m really proud of Tom Hanks, who is also someone in the public eye who came out and said they have it and has been public about it,” the Cats actor said in a Twitter livestream video. “I was really motivated by Tom’s move there.”
As of May 3, there were more than 3.5 million confirmed cases worldwide and more than 247,000 individuals had died from COVID-19. Symptoms for the illness include fever, coughing and difficulties breathing. In the U.S. more than 1.8 million have tested positive, with the death toll exceeding 68,000.

The Italian opera singer confirmed on May 26 that he tested positive in March, but had a “swift and full recovery” before his Easter Sunday webcast. “The pandemic which has shaken the world has also affected –– albeit mildly –– me and certain members of my family. I certainly didn’t want to unnecessarily alarm my fans and also wished to protect my family’s privacy,” he wrote in a statement on Facebook. “We were fortunate enough to have a swift and full recovery by the end of March. Given the chance to donate blood to help find a cure for Covid, my response was an immediate ‘yes.’ A modest — but fundamental — gesture, through which I am playing my small part.”
He added: “I was able to be with my entire family and we all got infected. We had a fever, then we were cold, and then we got a little bit of a cough.”

I’m okay now.”
