There is a classic line in Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what color the next one is."
Forrest Gump was released in 1994 and won a second Oscar for Tom Hanks. At that time, he must not have imagined that the chocolate of his life 26 years later was related to a global epidemic.
Today, Tom Hanks announced on his social media that he and his wife have been diagnosed with COVID-19 in Australia. People are familiar with Tom Hanks because of many characters such as "Forrest Gump", but his wife Rita Wilson is not familiar to many people.
In fact, Tom Hanks had two marriages.
His first wife was bongzi. It was 1978 and Tom Hanks was only 22 years old. He has not yet officially entered the show business circle, but is just an obscure young man interested in theatrical performance.
Tom Hanks was born on July 9, 1956 in Concord, California, to the son of a cook and the mother of a hospital. At the age of 5, his parents divorced. Raised by his father, he changed two more mothers with his father. His childhood experiences have made him somewhat shadowy about marriage.
During college, he met Samantha. At the end of 1977, the son was born, and he was still very responsible 2 months later with Samantha. This is Tom Hanks's eldest son, named Colin Hanks.
When Colin Hanks grew up, he embarked on an acting career like his father, and has played roles in many movies, including "Brothers Company" and "King Kong".
In 1982, Tom Hanks and his wife's daughter Elizabeth were born. Later, the daughter also used her father's light to make cameo appearances in several movies, and then moved to the background to become a screenwriter. But it's not very famous.
After getting married, Tom Hanks' own film career began to rise. In 1979, Hanks first played a role in a low-budget film, He Knows You're Alone, which was released in 1980.
What really put Hanks on the road to fame was the 1984 film The Mermaid. After that, Hanks's film contracts continued, and he spent less and less time at home with his wife and children.
The wife also wants to be an actress, but the husband is always away from home and the children have to be taken care of. The contradictions between husband and wife began to increase.
Childhood troubles and fears of following in his parents' marital footsteps made Hanks want to maintain his marriage. He began to help his wife fulfill her wish to become an actor.
His wife was rehearsing a stage play, Relay Game, and Hanks gave her full support. Unfortunately, the play was eventually shelved due to financial problems, and Hanks's already precarious marriage with his wife came to an end.
The arguments between the two grew, and Hanks often wanted to walk away like his father. Although reason triumphs over impulse, the differences between husband and wife are irreconcilable. In October 1985, Samantha signed the divorce papers.
But the ensuing divorce by agreement was protracted, during which the two blamed each other for dividing up property and fighting for custody of their children. It wasn't until 1987 that the court ruled that they were formally divorced.
Although he grew up with the pain of his parents' divorce, Hanks was still unbearable when it all happened to him, and he confessed to the outside world more than once that "this was the worst moment of my life".
Samantha died of bone cancer in 2002.
Shortly after the divorce, Tom Hanks married actress Rita Wilson in 1988. However, in an interview, Hanks admitted in an interview that he had an extramarital affair during his first marriage, and the object was his current wife.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson first met when Rita guest starred in hanks' TV series Intimate Partner, sparked a spark in 1985 while filming the film Volunteers, and began dating.
In 1988, the two married. He has two sons, Chester, born in 1990, and Truman, born in 1995.
Born in Los Angeles, Rita Wilson is an actress and singer. He began his career in 1972 and has since starred in several films.
At the age of 63, she is not very famous as an actress, appearing in supporting roles, starring in movies such as "Blue Moonlight", "Sleepless Night in Seattle", "The Running Bride", etc., making cameo appearances in "The Proud Wife", and also guest starring in "From the Earth to the Moon" directed by Tom Hanks.
Rita Wilson has also been obsessed with singing, and in 2012 she released her first solo album, AM/FM, which collected songs from her 1970s and 1980s and shared many of her photos.
Rita and Hanks have been married for almost 32 years. It has always been loving and harmonious, widely praised by fans, and can be called a model couple in Hollywood.
In 2015, Rita unfortunately contracted breast cancer and underwent double mastectomy. Tom Hanks has always been around and taking good care of her, and Rita is very touched by this. "You can never imagine how your partner will react in this situation," she said. I was amazed, and I was very touched by the care my husband gave me. During this time we became very close. ”
In March 2019, Rita's Hollywood Walk of Fame was celebrated by Tom Hanks, her family and best friend Julia Roberts.
Neither of their sons was too careless.
In particular, the eldest son, Chet, was a rapper and was addicted to drugs. My father walked the red carpet, and he was next to him doing a live broadcast. His hip-hop songs have also been controversial for racial discrimination. But who would have thought that his girlfriend would be black and give birth to a mixed-race daughter? When Rita added the star to the avenue, her daughter also went.
The second son, Truman, is relatively low-key, and also follows in his father's footsteps and enters the film circle, mainly doing behind-the-scenes work. This time in Australia, Truman followed his parents.
Hanks went to Australia to make director Barzruman's Elvis biographical film. He's not a star, and his job may be relatively easy. He was also met by fans on the beach and took a group photo.
Rita gave concerts in Brisbane and Sydney, Australia, and her husband and son also called for her. A family of three also appeared on the streets of Sydney, and the old husband and wife also had ten fingers interlocked, which showed that the feelings were quite good.
This infection with the new crown virus, Hanks announced his illness in a timely manner and actively and publicly responded to the epidemic, which was also praised by the majority of netizens.
The eldest son, Chet, also responded to the incident on his social media, thanking the outside world for their concern and support for their families.
He said: "It's true, my parents have COVID-19. It's crazy. They're all in Australia now because my dad was making movies there, but I just talked to them on the phone and they're all fine, they're not as sick at all."
He added, "They're not worried about it, but they're obviously taking the necessary health precautions, but I don't think there's anything to worry about, and I'm grateful for your concern and blessings, but I think everything will be fine, but I still want everyone to stay safe." ”
Perhaps the biggest problem is that Hanks and Rita may have been in contact with many people before the diagnosis. At present, the filming of the Elvis Presley biography film in which Hanks is scheduled to be released in October next year has been completely stopped in Australia's Gold Coast. And Rita's concert at the end of last month, the audience is thousands.
I hope that the two can survive this disaster and recover as soon as possible.
