"I have communicated with my brother. He's not great, but still okay. [Am I] shocked? No. He's an actor, not a god [but] medical care in Australia is good."

In another update, the 63-year-old actor shared a photo of his "vegmite" toast meal via Instagram, and his family is having a good laugh out of it. His son, Colin Hanks, led the banter on tweeter. He joked that the star actor was having too much "vegmite" on his toasts.

Despite their infection, the Hollywood couple is still cheerful. Rita Wilson showed their cheerfulness when she performed her "Broken Man" despite being infected.
