You okay, Rita?

Rita Wilson (63) is clearly feeling the effects of self-isolation if her Instagram account is anything to go by.

The actress, who was one of the first celebrities to test positive for the virus along with her husband, Tom Hanks, took to Instagram yesterday to share her phone number, asking fans to text her.

“Going stir crazy? Have a suggestion for my Quarantunes playlist? TEXT ME! (310) 299-9260,” she wrote along with an accompanying video, saying she’d probably be spending “a lot of time on text”.

“I’m giving you my phone number!! And YES . . .  It's actually me. Text me so I can let you know what I'm up to, when I'm in your city, once we can leave our houses, and so we can stay in touch.”

A few days prior she posted a video of an impromptu rap rendition of the 1992 hit Hip Hop Hooray by Naughty by Nature. She captioned the post, “Quarantine Stir Crazy”.

Fans, including actress Jennifer Aniston and reality star Kris Jenner, went crazy for it with the former Friends star saying, “Yessssssss R Greeky!”

Kris gushed, “OMG Rita, I love you!!! Please come home!!!!”

Rita and Tom (63) were in Australia filming an Elvis Presley biopic when they announced they’d tested positive. Following hospital treatment they’re now in self-quarantine in a rented home in Queensland, Australia.

On Sunday Tom tweeted that they were doing much better.

“Two weeks after our first symptoms and we feel better,” Tom wrote.

Speaking about social distancing he said, “Sheltering in place works like this: You don't give it to anyone – you don't get it from anyone.”
