Tom Hanksis drawing inspiration from Fred Rogers as he remains in isolationin Australia after testing positive for the coronavirus.
“Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx,” the 63-year-old actor wrote on Instagram early Sunday.
Rogers — who Hanks played in recent film “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” — used to say that his mom would tell him to “look for the helpers” during a disaster.
“You will always find people who are helping,'”Rogers said. “To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”
Hanks also shared a photo of his breakfast of Vegemite on toast, which was next to a stuffed kangaroo toy holding the Australian flag.
The actor announced last week that he and his wife, Rita Wilson, tested positive for the virus after they both came down with colds, aches and slight fevers.
“To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus and were found to be positive,” he said, adding they’ll be “isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.”
The two-time Oscar winner had been in Australia working on an untitled Elvis Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann.
