James Bond star Dench appears wearing white fuzzy ears in a short video posted to Twitter by her daughter Finty Williams. She remarks, “Oh! There you are. Just keep laughing. That’s all we can do,” while pulling on the ears to perk them up.

McConaughey sent a message of hope in a video on Twitter in a bid to calm his followers amid the coronavirus chaos. The Oscar-winner said, “In these crazy times that we’re in with the coronavirus, let’s take care of ourselves and each other.

“Let’s not go to the lowest common denominator and get paranoid. Let’s do our due diligence and take the precautions we need to to take care of ourselves and those of us around us, right now more than ever.”

“We’re all more dependent on each other than we ever have been. We have an enemy in coronavirus that is faceless, that is faceless, sexless, nondenominational and bipartisan. And it’s an enemy that we all agree we wanna beat.”

He continued, “Values of fairness, kindness, accountability, resilience, respect, courage. If we practice those things right now, when we get out of this, this virus, this time might be the one time it brings us all together and unifies us, like we have not been in a long time.”

“So yes, let’s see if we can make some lemonade out of the lemon that we’re in right now. Turn a red light into a green light…Just keep living.”

Lady Gaga, meanwhile posted an Instagram picture of herself in quarantine, holding hands with boyfriend Michael Polansky. She wrote, “Day 6 of self-quarantining! Going strong, playing video games and cards, and taking care of ourselves.Important reminder: keep your mind as stress-free as possible and your body moving. #selflove #selfcare #bekind try not to pass it in case you have it #corona it’s ok and so wonderful to stay home if you can!What a kind act for the world.”
