        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While promoting his new war flick &#8220;Greyhound&#8221; <strong>on &#8220;The Late Show With Stephen Colbert&#8221; Tuesday</strong> night<em>,</em> Tom Hanks revealed that he and wife Rita Wilson experienced vastly different symptoms during their <strong>much-publicized bout with the coronavirus</strong> in March.</p><p>The pair had both tested positive during a break from shooting Baz Luhrmann&#8217;s Elvis Presley biopic in Australia, but have since recovered.</p><p>During the virtual interview, the 64-year-old told host Stephen Colbert his bones &#8220;felt like they were made of soda crackers,&#8221; over the eight or nine day recuperation period.</p><p>&#8220;Every time I moved around I felt like something was cracking inside,&#8221; described the Oscar Winner, who also reported feeling &#8220;bone-crushing fatigue&#8221; and soreness.</p><p>Meanwhile, Wilson, 63, reportedly experienced a high fever, headaches and had lost her sense of smell and taste because of the virus.</p><p>Due to the severe symptoms, the couple were briefly hospitalized before they were allowed to quarantine together in a rented home.</p><p>Unfortunately, Hanks claims he still has no idea how or where he contracted COVID-19, or if he&#8217;s immune to the disease.</p><p>&#8220;No one really knows what the X factor is,&#8221; said the Cecil B. DeMille award winner, who has <strong>twice donated plasma</strong> to aid the fight against COVID-19.</p><p>Hanks has been outspoken about his battle with the disease and the threat it poses, <strong>regularly posting updates</strong> on social media while in lockdown. Most recently, the &#8220;Saving Private Ryan&#8221; actor <strong>lambasted the US response to the pandemic</strong> during a damning interview on “Today” earlier this month.</p><p>“There’s a darkness on the edge of town here, folks,” he said. “Let’s not confuse the fact. It’s killing people . . . You can say, ‘Well, traffic accidents kill a lot of people too.’ But traffic accidents happen because a lot of drivers aren’t doing their part. They’re not using their turn signals. They’re driving too fast, they’re not paying attention.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
