It appears Tom is eating vegemite on toast. He writes, “Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx.” It seems he is referencing a famous quote said by Mister Rogers. Tom portrayed Mister Rogers in the film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood last year.

Fred Rogers once said, “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”

Tom’s kids also assured fans that the couple is doing well. Colin Hanks said, “We are so grateful for the outpouring of support from everyone. My parents are receiving excellent care in Australia and are doing well (and in good spirits) given the circumstances.”

Meanwhile, Chet Hanks also confirmed the diagnosis. He said, “Yeah, it’s true, my parents got coronavirus. It’s crazy. They both are fine, they’re not even that sick.” Learn more in his video update above.

Get well soon, Tom and Rita! Keep the updates coming!
