The 63-year-old actor has shared a new photo to Instagram during his quarantine following a coronavirus diagnosis.
The photo showed Hanks' snack: toast with Vegemite and a glass of water -- with a plush kangaroo to keep him company.

“Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other,” the photo's caption read.
Hanks, who played Fred Rogers in a recent film, presumably was referencing the iconic television personality, who said his mother would tell him to “look for the helpers” during crises.

“You will always find people who are helping,” Rogers said. “To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world.”
Hanks announced last week that he and his wife, actress-singer Rita Wilson, had been diagnosed with the coronavirus in Australia. The two have remained in quarantine since then.

“Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.”
