Tom Hanks Gave His Corona Typewriter To Kid That Was Bullied Over His Name!

Is here any limit to the things Ton Hanks could possibly do to bolster his “good guy” status? It doesn’t look like it.

8-year-old Corona DeVries lives in Queensland, Australia. As you might guess he’s being constantly bullied because of his first name.

Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were quarantined for a while, in Australia, because they both tested positive for COVID-19. Corona wrote them a short note asking if they were OK, and in the note Corona also mentioned that his classmates were bullying him. Hanks sent the boy a typewritten letter, and the Corona-brand typewriter he used. Hanks wrote “Thank you for being such a good friend – friends make their friends feel when they are down.”

Hanks, who was the voice of Woody in the “Toy Story” films, hand wrote “You’ve Got A Friend In Me”, and included a supply of self-addressed envelopes so Corona could write back…..using his new typewriter.

Jack Kulp and Carolyn McArdle talked about it on the air! Listen below...
