Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson are sharing their experiences while quarantined in an Australian hospital after testing positive for Coronavirus, but after he shared one of his hospital meals, fans are advising him on his improper use of one of the country's staple foods.
Hanks took to Instagram to share one of the meals he is enjoying while quarantined, and the actor is spreading 'Vegemite' on two pieces of toast. But, many Australian fans are commenting on the photograph, saying he is using WAY too much of the product.

Now, it's possible he is doing on purpose because the spread contains so many vitamins, but fans think he is just using it wrong.
In the photo, you see a stuffed Kangaroo holding the country's flag, and another animal holding on to the Vegemite bottle. "Thanks to the Helpers. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other. Hanx," he captioned the photo.
Fans jumped right in to tell him he is overusing the substance, with one saying, "Ok that’s far too much vegemite on the toast ?"
Another added, "Tom.... step away from the vegemite.. that’s wAAAAAAAY to much. You neeed half that and more butter. Unless you love salt, in which case.. well done. But other thank that T-hanxs for still sharing the journey. Get better soon."
One fan of the 'Forrest Gump' star said jokingly, "Hanx mate, as a true vegemite aficionado, I need to let you know you’ve gone too far. Too far! Go easy. On the other hand, the veg has true restorative powers for those who are sick."
The best comment said, "With that amount of vegemite the coronavirus is probably thinking let’s get outta here it’s not safe ?"
As we reported, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson announced on social media last week, they both had contracted Coronavirus and were quarantined in Austrailia.

Tom posted a message on Instagram, saying, "Hello, folks. @ritawilson and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive."
He continued, "Well, now. What to do next? The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We’ll keep the world posted and updated Take care of yourselves! Hanx!"
