“Sopranos” star Michael Imperioli is certain he was felled by the coronavirus.
The 54-year-old actor, who played Christopher Moltisanti on the HBO series, told Page Six he was “extremely ill” when he arrived in California from New York on March 1.
“I was really sick,” he said. “I didn’t get tested but I was really sick in New York at the end of February.”
The Emmy winner believes his family also picked up the virus.
“My wife and one of my kids got it,” he explained. “We had most of the symptoms. We didn’t get tested because we weren’t sick enough to go to the hospital.
“We didn’t want to go to the hospital,” he added. “We haven’t been tested … We’re better now but we were pretty sick.”
Imperioli is currently co-hosting the “Talking Sopranos” podcast with co-star Steve Schirripa (who played hapless mobster Bobby Baccalieri) in which the pair parse every episode of the beloved series.
