Hanks, 63, said he and Wilson came down with a fever while in Australia, where he is reportedly filming a new movie about the life of Elvis Presley.

"To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the coronavirus, and were found to be positive," he wrote in a statement posted to Instagram.

The pair will now be isolated and monitored, wrote Hanks.

"We'll keep the world posted and updated," he added, along with a photo of a surgical glove placed inside a biohazard trash bag.

Hanks is the first major Hollywood star to publicly state that he has the virus that is sweeping around the world.

Hollywood reacted to the news with Canadian-born actor Donal Logue, known for roles in Vikings and Gotham, tweeting, "Feel better, boss! All the best to you and Rita".

Brian Koppelman, the creator and showrunner for the TV show Billions, wrote, "Get better, sir! We need you".

Prime Minister Scott Morrison commented on Facebook saying, "Wishing you both a speedy recovery. Scott".
