Stars In Lockdown - Coronavirus Attacks Hollywood

Showbiz crisis: Celebs infected! Shows shut down!
Stars In Lockdown - Coronavirus Attacks Hollywood

The glitz and glamour were gone. Instead of photos emerging from Hollywood of stars decked out in designer gowns and dripping in diamonds, the images in mid-March were disturbing and all too real.

On March 10, supermodel Naomi Campbell, 49, showed up to Los Angeles International Airport in a hazmat suit. On March 15, singer Demi Lovato, 27, was photographed walking into an LA market clad in a mask and gloves. That same day, supermodels Kaia Gerber, 18, and Cara Delevingne, 27, hit the same store with the Brit’s gloved girlfriend, Ashley Benson, 30, and came out with three trolleys piled high with bags of food preparing to isolate with the rest of the country as the coronavirus pandemic grew more dire.

More and more, COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, was making its presence known.

On March 16, UK actor Idris Elba, 47, who just days earlier posed for pictures at a London event with Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, 44, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife, who has the virus, had himself shared that he too tested positive for coronavirus.

“He’s not showing any symptoms so far, but when it comes down to it, he’s fighting for his life because this virus can be deadly,” says an insider.

Other actors, including Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson, both 63, and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko, 40, also have publicly revealed COVID-19 diagnoses.

Hundreds of TV shows – like NCIS to Grey’s Anatomy – have shut down, and movies have postponed premieres and release dates.
