INFECTED WHILE ON THE JOB

Right before contracting the virus, the 63-year-old was busy filming Baz Luhrmann's Elvis Presley biopic, which still doesn't have an official title or release date.

It has been reported that a representative from the film believes the Oscar-winning actor was the only member of the cast to have tested positive for COVID-19.
