Another said: “Is no one gonna talk about how The Simpsons pretty much predicted the virus, America going on lock down (the dome) and Tom Hanks getting coronavirus?”
Fans are speculating that The Simpsons “predicted” in 2007 that Tom Hanks would need to self-isolate amid the news that the actor and his wife Rita Wilson have tested positive for coronavirus.
Following Hanks’ post, some viewers of The Simpsons Movie hypothesised that the actor’s isolation was foretold by his cameo in the film, when he spoke of being left alone.
“The Simpsons also nailed the prediction of Tom Hanks being quarantined,” one person wrote on Twitter.
