Variety quoted Hanks as saying, “A lot of the questions [are] what do we do now? Is there something we can do? And, in fact, we just found out that we do carry the antibodies.”
He further added: “We have not only been approached, but we have also said, Do you want our blood? Can we give plasma?”
“In fact, we will be giving it now to the places that hope to work on what I would like to call the ”Hank-ccine,” the 63-year-old jokingly said.
The couple was in Australia for the pre-production of Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley film from Warner Bros when they got infected with the virus.
Earlier, Wilson confirmed that she and Hanks didn’t know for sure where or from whom they contracted the virus, but they had learned they were both exposed to it “at the same time.”
After quarantining and recovering, the couple returned home to Los Angeles at the end of March.
