Tom Hanks has sparked a bit of a debate. On Sunday, the 63-year-old actor posted a photo of some toast with Vegemite, which he appeared to be eating during his time in isolation in Australia. The Oscar winner and his wife, Rita Wilson, have been in isolation since they both tested positive for coronavirus last week. "Thanks to the Helpers," Hanks captioned the photo of the meal. "Let's take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx." After seeing the photo, many fans took to social media to comment on the amount of Vegemite the Forrest Gump star had spread across his toast. "Dear Tom, that's lovely but you spread the Vegemite way too thick," author Jane Caro tweeted. "The secret to Vegemite toast is 1/3 Vegemite to 2/3 butter maximum. And add smashed avocado for extra awesomeness." "Gee, that's a lot of Vegemite," TV host Michael Rowland added.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have left a Queensland hospital and are now resting at a rented home in Australia five days after revealing they had both tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), PEOPLE confirms. The pair remain under quarantine in their house, Hanks’ representative says. The Forrest Gump star announced last Wednesday that he and his wife were diagnosed with the coronavirus while visiting Australia. “Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive,” Hanks wrote at the time. Hanks, 63, had been on Australia’s Gold Coast for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann‘s untitled Elvis Presley biopic, in which he plays the music icon’s longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker. Filming for the movie has been halted following his diagnosis. Hanks is the only person on set believed to have tested positive for the the virus, according to a representative from the film in Australia. On Sunday, Hanks posted an update from his time in isolation, expressing his appreciation for his “helpers,” a friendly gesture that his latest movie character Fred Rogers often spoke of.

Tom Hanks says he feels the “blahs” but has no fever as he and wife Rita Wilson remain in isolation in an Australian residence after being discharged from a hospital following their coronavirus diagnosis.
A representative for the Oscar winner confirmed Tuesday that the pair were no longer hospitalized, and Hanks himself provided an update saying he was doing chores and getting beaten by his wife in cards as they remain self-quarantined.
“Hey folks. Good news: One week after testing positive, in self-isolation, the symptoms are much the same. No fever but the blahs. Folding the laundry and doing the dishes leads to a nap on the couch. Bad news: my wife has won 6 straight hands of Gin Rummy and now leads by 201 points,” he posted on social media Tuesday evening.
Instead of a photo of himself or his wife, the post showed an old typewriter that he traveled with “that I used to love. We are all in this together. Flatten the curve,” he wrote, promoting the idea of social distancing to prevent further spread of the disease.
The couple arrived in Australia in late January on the Gold Coast, where an Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann was to be shot. Hanks plays Presley’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The film, slated for release in October 2021, has suspended production, Warner Bros. said.
Wilson, a singer-songwriter, has performed in Brisbane and Sydney during the couple’s stay in Australia.
Australian television journalist Richard Wilkins has revealed that he tested positive for the virus on Sunday. He had met Wilson at the Sydney Opera House on March 7 and again at Nine Network’s Sydney studio two days later.

Tom Hanks’ sister has shared an update on the actor’s health following his coronavirus diagnosis, and admits he’s ‘not great’. The Forrest Gump star was one of the first Hollywood celebrities to announce they were battling with Covid-19, alongside his wife Rita Wilson, while in Australia where he had been filming an Elvis Presley biopic. Since then, both Tom and Rita have been forthcoming with their health and recovery, often reassuring fans they are doing well and remaining positive. But Tom’s sister, Sandra Hanks Benoiton, has reminded everyone that the Oscar-winner is human after all and it’s not an easy process. ‘I have communicated with my brother. He’s not great, but still okay. [Am I] shocked? No. He’s an actor, not a god [but] medical care in Australia is good,’ Sandra told the Mail Online. Sandra moved to Italy in 2016 with her family and is currently in lockdown in the country which has been hit with the virus severely, standing at more than 35,000 confirmed coronavirus cases and close to 3,000 deaths.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are no longer castaways ... the couple's back in L.A. and they could not look happier. Tom and Rita were spotted in their Range Rover on Friday moments after landing at Van Nuys Airport. The couple grinned ear-to-ear ... and it's easy to see why after spending more than 2 weeks in self-isolation after testing positive for the coronavirus. Just a few days ago, Tom and Rita gave the world a health update and said they were feeling much better. Tom also took the opportunity to remind everyone that sheltering at home is an incredibly effective tool to combat the fast-spreading COVID-19. As we reported ... Tom and Rita were in Australia filming an Elvis Presley movie when they contracted the disease. They were the first A-listers to test positive for coronavirus. At the time, Tom's reps told us he and Rita got tested for the deadly virus after feeling like they had a cold. They also felt extra tired and had some body aches. Rita also had some chills that came and went, as well as, slight fevers.
