Many immediately became concerned for their well-being, wishing them a speedy recovery.
After Tom shared the news, his son Chet gave an update on his parents’ condition on Instagram, reassuring that they’re well. “I just got off the phone with them. They both are fine. They’re not even that sick. They’re not worried about it. They’re not trippin’, but they’re going through the necessary health precautions, obviously,” said Chet.
He ended the video, saying “I appreciate everyone’s concern and the well wishes but I think it’s all going to be alright but I appreciate it and just, everybody stay safe out there. Much love.”
The couple contracted the coronavirus while Tom was filming Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic in Australia. Pre-production for the film has since been halted, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Update: Tom’s eldest son, Colin, shared a statement on his dad and stepmom’s condition on Twitter, saying he is “confident that they will make a full recover.”
