Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were among two of the first celebrities who tested positive for coronavirus.
The couple tested positive for the virus back in early March while in Australia, during pre- production on Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley biopic.
And now according to People, Hanks is urging people to wear masks.
Speaking about the ongoing pandemic while promoting his new movie Greyhound Hanks said:
“There’s really only three things we can do in order to get to tomorrow: Wear a mask, social distance, wash our hands.”
“Those things are so simple, so easy, if anybody cannot find it in themselves to practice those three very basic things – I just think shame on you. Don’t be a pussy, get on with it, do your part. It’s very basic. If you’re driving a car, you don’t go too fast, you use your turn signal and you avoid hitting pedestrians. My Lord, it’s common sense.”
