Tom Hanks is active on social media and other platforms promoting his movie Greyhound along with safety measures regarding coronavirus pandemic. The actor celebrated his birthday on July 9 and showed his diving skills to his fans.
Hanks shot a slow-motion video diving into a big pool that allowed his fans to see him closely before he splashes the water. The two time Oscar award winner splashed the water all over the camera as he dove in the pool.
The actor posted the video on Instagram and captioned that Greyhound turned 64 which cited his upcoming release on Apple TV+. Hanks' wife, Rita Wilson who will also turn 64 in a couple of months, took Instagram to wish her husband.
Wilson shared a picture of Hanks in which he looks absolutely relaxed and smiling in a lobster-printed shirt. She wished him Happy Birthday and expressed her love while called him an anchor to the family. “Every day with you is a blessing," She captioned. "Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine for evermore, Will you still need me, will you still feed me, When I'm sixty-four."
Fans in the comments section found it sweet that after quoting this question, Wilson replied "YES" in the end. The Forrest Gump star has utilized his platform to show concern regarding the ongoing pandemic and constantly remind everyone to wear masks, keep distance, and wash hands to slow down the coronavirus spread.
The couple was infected with coronavirus in March and they won the battle against the virus and recovered successfully. The duo was located in Australia when they got COVID-19 and even after returning back to Los Angeles following recovery, the couple kept themselves in self-isolation.
Hanks recently appeared on Today, where he shared his thoughts about the pandemic and how people are behaving when it comes to following the basics. He told that a major population of Americans understand the importance of doing their own part as an individual.
However, the actor seemed extremely disappointed with others who don't take precautions. He explained that people who get killed because of a traffic accident are different than killing people due to a lack of "common sense".
The Cast Away actor said that everybody can do things that can protect their own neighborhood, street, city, town, nation, state, and world. Even previously, Hanks showed his anger for individuals who don't wear a mask and visit public places.
