Tom Hanks received a letter from a boy in Australia and it said “I heard on the news you and your wife had caught the coronavirus, Are you OK?”
The boys name is Corona De Vries. He also added in the letter that he was being bullied at school because of his name.
Tom Hanks wrote the boy back…
“Dear Friend Corona,
“Your letter made my wife and I feel so wonderful! Thank you for being such a good friend – friends make friends feel good when they are down.”
You are the only person I’ve ever known to have the name Corona – like the ring around the sun, a crown.”
“I thought this typewriter would suit you,” he said. “I had taken it to the Gold Coast, and now, it is back – with you. Ask a grown up how it works. And use it to write me back.”
OMG WE LOVE TOM HANKS!
