The<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/watch-backstreet-boys-reunite-for-coronavirus-charity-concert-fans-cannot-contain-their-excitement-289621"> boys covered their classic 'I want it that way' for the stay at home concert </a>and fans went complete gaga over their performance.<br />
<br />
Now on Monday, the boys were back on Twitter to thank fans on the band's 27th anniversary.<br />
<br />
The band, also called BSB, was formed in Florida's Orlando on April 20, 1993 and comprises Brian Littrell, Nick Carter, AJ McLean, Howie Dorough and Kevin Richardson. They shot to fame with their debut international album, 'Backstreet Boys' in 1996.<br />
<br />
The BSB shared a throwback picture of the group on a beach on Twitter on Monday.<br />
<br />
"Today marks 27 years of the Backstreet Boys. On Apr 20, 1993 we were all so young and standing together for the first time as a group. We did not know you yet. Each one of you were but a dream to us. We hoped you'd hear our music," the post on the band's official page read.</p>

<p>Days after actress Rita Wilson spoke about her battle with coronavirus, her husband Tom Hanks has now opened up about the symptoms he had.<br />
<br />
Hanks and Wilson were one of the first celebrities to come and confirm that they had contracted the disease in early March.<br />
<br />
The Oscar-winning actor was featured on Thursday's episode of the National Defense Radio Show where he discussed his experience fighting off the virus.<br />
<br />
“Rita went through a tougher time than I did,” said Hanks. “She had a much higher fever. She had lost her sense of taste and sense of smell."<br />
<br />
The 63-year-old actor stated that his symptoms were mild in comparison. "I had some bad body aches and was very fatigued, and that’s how the COVID-19 went through us," the actor said.<br />
<br />
Hanks added that in quarantine he tried to stay in shape by doing 30-minute stretch sessions, as well as other "old man things."<br />
<br />
“I was wiped after 12 minutes,” he admitted.<br />
<br />
The couple tested positive for the virus while they were in Australia where Hanks was shooting for Baz Luhrman's film.</p>

<p>The actor stated that they were one of the early cases in the country. "It was relatively early in Australia’s response to the coronavirus, and they wanted us to not give it to anyone else,” said Hanks. “That’s why we were in lockdown.”</p>

<p>There is a reason why the world loves Heath Ledger. Years after his death, the actor is known for not just his talent but also because of the stand he took about matters close to the heart. In a recent interview actor Jake Gyllenhaal has revealed that his 'Brokeback Mountain' co-star Heath Ledger had declined to present at the 2007 Academy Awards over a joke about the film.<br />
<br />
Directed by Ang Lee, the film featured Gyllenhaal and Ledger as Jack Twist and Ennis Del Mar, two sheepherders who develop a passionate relationship in the 1960s in Wyoming, USA.<br />
<br />
Depiction of same-sex romance on the big screen was not as common as it is now and the film had got its share of jokes back when it had released.<br />
<br />
Talking to Another Man magazine, Gyllenhall said the awards' organisers wanted to include a joke about the movie's gay romance in the opening act but Ledger was not okay with it.<br />
<br />
"I mean, I remember they wanted to do an opening for the Academy Awards that year that was sort of joking about it. And Heath refused. I was sort of at the time, 'Oh, okay... Whatever.' I'm always like, 'It's all in good fun.' And Heath said, 'It's not a joke to me' I don't want to make any jokes about it'.<br />
<br />
"That's the thing I loved about Heath. He would never joke. Someone wanted to make a joke about the story or whatever, he was like, 'No. This is about love. Like, that's it, man. Like, no'," Gyllenhaal said.<br />
<br />
At the 78th Academy Awards, the film had received eight Oscar nominations eventually won three for best director, best adapted screenplay and best original score.<br />
<br />
Ledger, who was nominated for best actor trophy at the ceremony, died in January 2008 due to an accidental overdose of prescription medications. He&nbsp;posthumously won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar later that year for his performance in 'The Dark Knight'.</p>
