The actor (64) revealed he had coronavirus in July, telling fans on social media he had mild symptoms after he and wife Robin Dearden tested positive.

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, he said: “We had a few days of achiness, but not enough to keep you in bed. I had a temperature of 99 (37.2C) for about three hours, and then just exhaustion for a week after that.

“The only thing that lingered, and still is to this day, is I lost a percentage of my ability to taste and smell.

“I think about 75 per cent has come back, but if someone was brewing coffee, and I walk into a kitchen, I cannot smell it.”

Oscar nominee Cranston, also known for playing family patriarch Hal on TV comedy Malcolm In The Middle, is one of the highest profile celebrities to reveal he has had the virus.

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson were among the first, announcing the news in March.
