Former Bond girlOlga Kurylenko, who starred oppositeDaniel Craigin 2008’sQuantum of Solace, has tested positive for the coronavirus. The Ukrainian-born actress revealed the news Sunday to her 567,000 followers on Instagram.
“Locked up at home after having tested positive for Coronavirus. I’ve actually been ill for almost a week now. Fever and fatigue are my main symptoms. Take care of yourself and do take this seriously!”
Kurylenko is the latest entertainment professional to test positive for COVID-19 followingTom HanksandRita Wilson, who have been isolating in Australia, where Hanks was prepping to shootBaz Luhrmann’s untitledElvis Presleybiopic.
It’s unclear where in the world Kurylenko is self-quarantining, but the actress doesn’t appear to be shooting anything at the moment, so at the very least, we don’t have to worry about additional cast and crew members being exposed to the virus – which doesn’t differentiate between celebrities and the general public.
Utah Jazz playersRudy GobertandDonovan Mitchellhave tested positive for the coronavirus along with Detroit Pistons forwardChristian Wood, Cleveland State women’s basketball coachChris Kielsmeier,Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, the wife of Canada’s Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau, and Universal Music chairman/CEOLucian Grainge, the latter of whom was hospitalized over the weekend.
Outside of the James Bond franchise, Kurylenko has shared the screen with some of Hollywood’s top stars, such asTom CruiseinOblivionandBen AffleckinTo the Wonder. Her other credits includeMartin McDonagh’sSeven Psychopaths,Armando Iannucci’sThe Death of Stalin,andTerry Gilliam’sThe Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
Kurylenko will soon be seen alongsideClaes BangandSuccessionstarBrian Coxin the indie thrillerThe Bay of Silence. We’ll be rooting for her to make a full recovery in the coming weeks, and hoping that her many fans heed her warning to “take this seriously!” For the latest update on Hanks and Wilson,click here.
