With more than 112 million people worldwide having tested positive for the coronavirus, perhaps it's no surprise that Hollywood celebrities and other public figures have come forward to say they've been stricken by the illness.
From Tom Hanks to Prince Charles, these are just a few of the famous people who've been diagnosed with COVID-19.
Trisha Yearwood
Garth Brooks revealed Feb. 24 in a statement that his wife, fellow country music superstar Trisha Yearwood, had tested positive for COVID-19 after being exposed to a COVID-19 positive member of their team a week before.
Brooks revealed he was quarantining with Yearwood despite testing negative for the virus himself.
“Anyone who knows me knows my world begins and ends with Miss Yearwood, so she and I will ride through this together,” said Brooks. "And anyone who knows her knows she's a fighter and she's been doing everything right, so I know we’ll walk out the other side of this thing together.”
Brooks explained that Yearwood was dealing with symptoms of the virus, and said both of them were worried about some of the possible long-term effects it could have on Yearwood’s voice.
“Living with her, I sometimes take it for granted she’s one of the greatest voices in all of music, so the possible long-term effects on her concern me as her husband and as a fan,” he said in the statement.
“She’s tough. She’s stronger than me,” he said, adding people can send good thoughts and prayers her way. “If anyone asks, that's what you can do for her. That’s what I’m doing”
Gwyneth Paltrow
Hollywood star and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow revealed in February that she'd been dealing with COVID-19 symptoms for months even though she'd recovered from the virus earlier in the year.
"I had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with some long-tail fatigue and brain fog," Paltrow wrote in a post on the Goop website.
Paltrow said she had tests done in January that showed she had "really high levels of inflammation in my body." She said she consulted Dr. Will Cole, who advised her to a "version of a protocol" he outlines in his book, "Intuitive Fasting."
She went on to list several products she used that are available on her website, including several supplements which she claimed are mostly "in service of a healthier gut."
Some health experts, including Stephen Powis, the national medical director of England’s National Health Service, later criticized the Oscar winner for not sharing "real science" with her followers.
“In the last few days I see Gwyneth Paltrow is unfortunately suffering from the effects of COVID. We wish her well, but some of the solutions she’s recommending are really not the solutions we’d recommend in the NHS,” Powis told the BBC.
Jim Parsons
Former "Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons revealed in late September that he and his husband, Todd Spiewak, both suffered with COVID-19 in March.
Parsons described the experience to "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, explaining that he and Spiewak at first had no idea how sick they were. "We didn't know what it was. We thought we had colds," he said. "And then it seemed less likely, and then finally we lost our sense of smell and taste."
Living without his senses was one of the worst parts of the virus for Parsons. "It defied the descriptions for me. I didn't realize how completely taste and smell could be gone," said the actor.
"And when you're in quarantine, and there's really nothing to do but eat — oh, my God, that was brutal," Parsons added, joking, "I ate everything, but I just didn’t taste it. Definition of wasted calories."
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced in early September that his entire family had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
In a selfie video he shared on Instagram, the action star, 48, said that he, his wife, Lauren Hashian, and their two young girls, Jasmine, 4, and Tiana, 2, all tested positive for the virus, though his young daughters had fewer symptoms than their parents. (Johnson didn't mention his older daughter, Simone, 19, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Dany Garcia.)
“I can tell you that this has been one of the most challenging and difficult things we’ve ever had to endure as a family and for me personally,” he said. “And I’ve gone through some doozies in the past…I’ve gotten my a-- kicked a little bit in the past…but testing positive for COVID-19 was much different than overcoming nasty injuries or being evicted or even being broke, which I have been a few times.”
Though the experience had been a “real kick in the gut,” Johnson said her and his loved ones were now “on the other side” of the virus.
“We're no longer contagious, and we are — thank God — we are healthy,” he said. "We've gotten through COVID-19 stronger and healthier.”
Alyssa Milano
Alyssa Milano has been chronicling her battle with the coronavirus on social media. The former "Who's the Boss?" and "Charmed" star, 47, revealed in an August post on Instagram that she began experiencing COVID-19 symptoms in April. Though she tested negative twice for the virus, her symptoms, which included shortness of breath, vertigo, body aches, headaches, fever, loss of smell and hair loss, continued.
Milano later took an antibody test from a lab that she said tested positive for antibodies, meaning she had the illness.
The actor shared an update on Instagram in September to say her health had been improving, though she was still experiencing "occasional heart palpitations."
"I had a ct scan of my lungs and a cardiac MRI and both were normal. I get super scared sometimes, though," she wrote. "Not of getting sick again but of my loved ones getting sick. I don’t ever want them to have this thing. It’s a beast. So I vacillate between being so grateful and so terrified. Grateful that it was me who got sick and terrified that friends or family will be sick. And I can’t help but wonder—how are you? Please be safe. Please let me know you’re ok."
Tony Shalhoub
Actor Tony Shalhoub announced on May 11 that he and his wife, Brooke Adams, had both recovered after testing positive for the coronavirus. The "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" star, 66, shared the news during an appearance on the new Peacock web series, "The At-Home Variety Show." Shalhoub reprised his Adrian Monk character from "Monk" to imagine how the germaphobic homicide detective would react to the pandemic. Afterwards, speaking as himself, Shalhoub urged viewers to follow health guidelines. "We really are all Monk now," he said. "Last month, my wife, Brooke, and I came down with the virus, and it was a pretty rough few weeks. But we realize that so many other people have and had it a lot worse."
Pink
Pop star Pink, 40, revealed on Instagram April 3 that she and her 3-year-old son, Jameson, were on the mend after showing symptoms of the coronavirus two weeks before. The singer said she was able to get tested after speaking with her primary care physician and had tested positive for the virus.
The singer shared details about the pair's battle with the virus to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres on April 9, revealing that Jameson got sick first, developing high body temperatures March 14, three days after the family started their quarantine. He also had stomach pains, diarrhea, chest pains, a headache and a sore throat, as well as a fever that reached 103 degrees.
"It was terrifying at one point,” she said. “Then I got sick, maybe March 16. In hindsight, it all makes sense, but when it’s happening, it’s such a weird experience that you just don’t put together until after the fact or until days go by.”
Pink's husband, Carey Hart, 44, and their daughter, Willow, 8, did not show symptoms of the virus.
