(L-R) Rita Wilson and Tom Hanks attend the 77th Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on January 05, 2020 in Beverly Hills, California.

Academy Award-winning actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for the coronavirus, Hanks revealed Wednesday.

Hanks and Wilson are in Australia for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann's currently untitled Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros. Hanks is set to play Presley's longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker.

Hanks announced the couple's diagnosis on social media accounts, including Instagram and Twitter.

"Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia," he wrote. "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."



"Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks' will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no?"



"We'll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves! Hanx!"

Both Hanks and Wilson are 63.

Warner Bros. said that it was made aware that a company member on the Elvis film had tested positive for COVID-19.

While the untitled Elvis film isn't due into theaters until October 2021, Hanks has three movies slated for release in 2020. "Greyhound," a World War II film that will be distributed by Sony, "BIOS," a post-apocalyptic film from Steven Spielberg's Amblin, and "News of the World," a western from Universal. All three films are currently in post-production.
