Corona, an 8-year-old Australian boy, was feeling down about his name — until his new buddy Tom Hanks wrote him a heartfelt letter after beating COVID-19.
“Even though I was no longer sick, getting your letter made me feel even better,” Hanks’ note continued. “You know, you are the only person I’ve ever known to have the name Corona — like the ring around the sun, a crown. I thought this typewriter would suit you. ... Ask a grown up how it works. And use it to write me back.”
Needless to say, Corona was pleased to hear back from his new pen pal — and no longer feeling down about his name. “P.S.,” Hanks scribbled in at the bottom of the note. “You got a friend in ME,” a reference to Randy Newman’s theme song for the “Toy Story” films.
