Two of Tom Hanks\u2019<\/a> sons, Chet and Colin Hanks, have released statements in response to the news that Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, have tested positive for coronavirus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hanks and Wilson are currently quarantined in Australia, where Hanks was filming an Elvis Presley biopic with Baz Luhrmann. On Wednesday night, Chet released a video statement about the situation to social media; Chet has gained public attention in recent months for frequently speaking in Jamaican patois<\/a>, but here he appeared to be talking in his normal voice (although he was shirtless).<\/p>\n

\u201cWassup everyone. Yeah, its true my parents got coronavirus<\/a>. Crazy,\u201d Chet said. \u201cThey\u2019re both down in Australia right now \u2019cause my dad was shooting a movie down there. I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine. They\u2019re not even that sick. They\u2019re not worried about it. They\u2019re not trippin\u2019. But they\u2019re going through the necessary health precautions, obviously. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s anything to be too worried about. I appreciate everyone\u2019s concern and the well wishes. I think it\u2019s all going to be alright. I appreciate it. Everybody stay safe out there. Much love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colin Hanks released a written statement to Twitter on Wednesday night, stating, \u201cWe 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. Despite the fact that I\u2019m in L.A. and haven\u2019t seen them in over three weeks, we have been in constant contact and am confident that they will make a full recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shortly before the news of Hanks and Wilson\u2019s illness was made public, Colin also retweeted a rather unorthodox method for warding off coronavirus: a remedy concocted and filmed by Shaggy 2 Dope of the Insane Clown Posse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll show you how to defeat the coronavirus, check it out: good old-fashioned dirt snow,\u201d Shaggy 2 Dope says in the video, grabbing a handful of muddy ice off the ground. \u201cGod made dirt, dirt don\u2019t hurt. Take out the rocks, and then it builds your immune system.\u201d The rapper then takes a bite out of his home remedy, proclaiming, \u201cThat\u2019s how you beat the fucking system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colin retweeted the clip and wrote, \u201cIf this works, it will be a miracle. Exactly like fucking magnets and how THEY work!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
