Now, though, Tom Hanks has pulled the ne plus ultra of nice-guy moves, donating a typewriter to an eight-year-old boy who’s been the target of bullying for being named Corona. The Australian boy sent a letter to Hanks to express his good wishes after the actor’s COVID-19 diagnosis, writing, “I love my name but at school people call me the coronavirus. I get very sad and angry when people call me this.
Hanks being Hanks, he responded within days with a tremendously kind letter. “Your letter made my wife and I feel so wonderful. Thank you for being such a good friend. Friends make their friends feel good when they are down,” Hanks, who spent time isolating in Australia after his diagnosis, wrote. “I thought this typewriter would suit you. I had taken it to the Gold Coast, and now, it is back—with you. Ask a grown up how it works. And use it to write me back.
