Tom Hanks says his ‘bones felt like they were made out soda crackers’ when he had coronavirus

Tom Hanks has described the discomfort he experienced while suffering from the coronavirus, saying that his bones felt as though they were as fragile as “soda crackers”.

In March, Hanks and his wife, actor and producer Rita Wilson, tested positive for Covid-19 while in Australia, where Hanks was filming Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic.

The couple were promptly hospitalised, with their symptoms easing in under two weeks.

Having spoken frequently about the ordeal he and Wilson experienced, Hanks recently made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he spoke about his symptoms in great detail.
