The Hollywood actor also gifted Corona De Vries a typewriter. Tom Hanks has sent a typewriter, and a personal letter, to an eight-year-old boy who has been bullied because he’s called Corona.

The actor wrote a heartwarming note to Corona De Vries after the young Australian sent him a letter when he and wife Rita Wilson fell ill with coronavirus last month.

In his letter, Corona wrote: ”I heard on the news you and your wife had caught the coronavirus. Are you OK? ”I love my name but at school people call me ‘the coronavirus.’ I get very sad and angry when people call me this.” The star sent a letter replying to his new friend and also gifted him with a Corona-brand typewriter, which he’d used while recovering in Australia.
