August1991 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Rita Wilson? I first thought that this was a publicity stunt. They're not really sick. Trudeau and Hanks only want to "raise awareness". ====== My second thought: These people love to be famous, shake hands. Maybe Sophie's really sick because she and Hanks love to be famous. ======== My third thought: I prefer anonymity.

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Lots of celebs, "influencers", and athletes are using this opportunity to raise more than awareness...also raising their celebrity profiles. Funny, but they never give shouts out on MyFace or Twitter when they get the herpes virus. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More people know Tom Hanks than Tom Hanks knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
