In the episode Tom advertises a "new Grand Canyon" and claims the US government has lost its credibility.

He adds: "This is Tom Hanks saying if you see me in person, please, please leave me be."

Tom was hospitalised with coronavirus alongside his wife Rita Wilson in Australia and are now in isolation.

They tested positive to the deadly bug after starting to feel tired and suffering from "body aches".

Now Simpsons fans say this unfortunate set of circumstances was first predicted on the show.

One said: "The Simpsons also nailed the prediction of Tom Hanks being quarantined."

Another added: "Tom Hanks has coronavirus who’s gonna dig up the Simpsons episode that predicted this."

Someone else said: "So now the simpsons predicted Tom Hanks getting the coronavirus too... wtf."

Another asked: "Can the Simpson’s predict the solution to the virus and Tom hanks."

Others have pointed out that the, 'prediction' is not one of the Simpson's strongest and is in fact incredibly tenuous.

Tom, who is in  working on director Baz Luhrmann’s untitled Elvis Presley film, revealed today: "We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches.

"Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too.
