If that’s not enough evidence for you, another episode had people talking back when Tom Hanks revealed in mid-March that he and wife Rita Wilson had been diagnosed with COVID-19.

This time we look to the 2007 film “The Simpsons Movie,” which featured a memorable line of the actor saying: “This is Tom Hanks, saying: If you see me in person, please, leave me be.”

Bill Oakley, who co-wrote “Marge in Chains,” criticized the parallels between the episode and the COVID-19 pandemic a few days after the Hanks news, telling The Hollywood Reporter the story was nothing more than a cartoonish joke inspired by a flu that hit Hong Kong in 1968.

“It’s mainly just coincidence because the episodes are so old that history repeats itself,” he said. “Most of these episodes are based on things that happened in the ‘60s, ‘70s or ‘80s that we knew about.”

While he was hesitant to own up to “The Simpsons” predicting the future at first, it seems as though he’s come to accept it as fact. He recently responded to a fan on Twitter by finally admitting: “ok fine i guess we did.”

\"The Simpsons\" is available to stream on Disney+.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
