Kevin Bacon is speaking out about his friend actor Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson’s recent positive coronavirus diagnosis. Bacon has been keeping up with the couple through e-mail since hearing of their diagnosis and praised the pair for how honest they have been regarding their health status, according to Fox News.
Bacon made it clear just how much he admires Hanks, noting that he doesn’t just have great skill as an actor but great character. While he acknowledged that Hanks and Wilson certainly did not have to go public regarding their diagnosis, they decided to let go of their own privacy and tell the world.
