Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are all smiles amid their recovery from the coronavirus.
The two-time Oscar winner updated fans just one day after revealing that he and his wife had both tested positive for COVID-19 while in Australia. Hanks shared a cute selfie of him and Wilson posing together on Thursday, with the “Greyhound” star’s arm around his longtime love.
The actor explained in his caption that he and Wilson are in isolation to avoid spreading the illness to anyone else, and thanked the medical staffers who have been “taking such good care” of them.

“There are those for whom it could lead to a very serious illness,” he shared of the virus. “We are taking it one-day-at-a-time. There are things we can all do to get through this by following the advice of experts and taking care of ourselves and each other, no?”
The 63-year-old had traveled Down Under for pre-production on Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis Presley biopic for Warner Bros., in which Hanks plays the singer’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker. Principal photography was reportedly set to begin on Monday but has since been suspended in the wake of the star’s condition. The film is slated for an October 2021 release.

For her part, Wilson had been set to perform tour dates in support of her latest album “Halfway to Home,” and took the stage at Sydney Opera House earlier this week. The venue has since announced it is undergoing a disinfection process alongside advisement with government health officials.
Hanks closed his latest message with a reference to one of his most beloved films, “A League of Their Own.”
“Remember, despite all the current events, there is no crying in baseball,” he wrote.
