Actor Mel Gibson was one of several celebrities who fell ill with coronavirus earlier this year.
A 64-year-old spokesman told TODAY that Gibson tested positive in April and spent a week in the hospital.
“He was treated with the drug Remdesivir while in the hospital, and has tested negative on numerous occasions since then, as well as positive for the antibodies,” the spokesperson said.
Several other celebrities contracted the virus this spring. Prince Charles, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Andy Cohen recovered from their bouts with the disease. Several musicians, such as singer-songwriter John Prine, “Saturday Night Live” music supervisor Hal Willner, Fountains of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger, and Broadway star Nick Cordero, died of complications related to COVID-19.
