Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, were among the first high-profile figures to contract COVID-19 while filming in Australia. Now fully recovered, Hanks shared his experience in a recent radio interview: "After 12 minutes of exercise, I was completely devastated."
In the interview with American radio, the Oscar-winning actor opened up about his battle with the virus. "I tried staying active with some stretching, but after just 12 minutes, I was utterly exhausted," he recounted.

Hanks noted that his wife suffered more severely, enduring a high fever and losing her sense of smell and taste. "I experienced body aches and got out of breath easily," he added.
Despite his illness, Hanks attempted light exercise but quickly realized his limits. Both have since recovered fully and returned safely to the United States.
