Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are currently in quarantine in Australia after testing positive for COVID-19.

To keep him company while in isolation, the staff at the Gold Coast Hospital where he is staying decided to provide him with his very own “Wilson,” a recreation of his best friend the last time he was in isolation in the 2000 film Cast Away.

Hanks wrote in his Instagram post that for now, he and wife Wilson will take this “one-day-at-a-time,” and they will be “tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires.”

Unfortunatelty, turns out this was just a photoshop job.  The image of Hanks with Wilson was taken from a New York Rangers hockey game.

And we're sad, now.
