In case you haven't heard the sad news, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson both tested positive for coronavirus last week while visiting Australia. One thing you may not know about our beloved Mr. Hanks is that he seems to enjoy tweeting about rogue gloves, socks, and other miscellaneous clothing items. Scroll down for some of these amusing tweets and let's all wish this national treasure a swift recovery!

As Coronavirus cases skyrocket around the world, tension and anxiety is filling the air and social media. The situation became even more real yesterday when Tom Hanks revealed that he and his wife, actress Rita Wilson, had both tested positive for the deadly virus. The pair are now in quarantine in Australia, and assuring the public that they feel fine. People are the internet, however, are not feeling fine. Hanks' status as an American treasure has lead some people to freak out, others to make jokes, and has even inspired some quality memes. We've put our favorites up in this gallery, but we're willing to bet you'll see more on Twitter in the coming days. Here's to a swift recovery!

Getting trapped in an elevator is a worst fear for a lot of people. This guy lived to tell the tale in Snapchat form when he got stuck in an elevator at work. Not going to lie, we're a little disappointed that he didn't resort to pulling a Bear-Grylls-drinking-his-own-pee scenario, but we can't have everything we want in life.

In case you're in the mood for even more Snapchat hilarity, we got you covered.

Tom Hanks made a very meme-able facial expression last night at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards during Ricky Gervais's opening monologue. In the speech, Gervais urged award recipients to refrain from making political statements in their respective speeches, during which the camera cut to Tom Hanks making a very uncomfortable wincing face.

Now please enjoy some of the resulting memes!

The internet is really digging the wholesome dudes of Hollywood right now and we're here for it! Of course, Keanu Reeves has been making waves as our absolute fav, but let's give our man Tom Hanks a little credit for his heartwarming demeanor!

We hope you like dark humor because these memes are FULL of it!

These photobombs prove that even our favorite celebrities are capable of making or ruining photos with their goofy presence!

We never thought that one of our new favorite meme would be Saving Private Ryan related, but here we are. Reddit's been overflowing with hilarious object labeling memes featuring Tom Hanks bravely (and some may argue, stupidly) pointing his gun at the face of the tank. Like Captain Miller's bold attempt, this meme is all about unsurmountable odds - from childish disses to a swift "I have a boyfriend." We've combed the web for the best examples, but we're betting this one's gonna be blowing up for the next few days. We can't wait.

In case you forgot that it's Friday (which you probably didn't), we've compiled a list of amusing memes to get you into that freakin' weekend groove.

I don't know why, but for some reason this one manages to skip past being just mildly amusing and right on into being utterly baffling. It raises so many questions. Why is Tom Hanks so obsessed with gloves? Did he have some kind of traumatic experience with a lost glove? 

I'm willing to bet that at some point he painted a face on a glove and it became his best friend while he was stranded on an island, only for it to be lost at sea.
