If anyone was wondering if Rita Wilson raps, here's your answer. Since being diagnosed with COVID-19, she and husband, Tom Hanks, have been in quarantine. Thankfully they’re on the mend. Over the weekend, Wilson posted an Instagram video of her rapping Naughty by Nature’s ‘Hip Hop Hooray,’ and if we didn’t love her before, we do now.The Girls actress started the video reading sci-fi novel, Ender’s Game, with music in the background. And what else would she be listening to but the early '90s hit when she busts into an epic rap verse with the caption “Quarantine Stir Crazy.” We’re so here for it.The video garnered over 1.1M views in just a day and even Jennifer Aniston approves. "Yessssssss R Greeky!,” the Friends actress commented, followed by a few heart emojis.  Other famous fans of the vids? Kris Jenner ("OMG Rita I Love you!!!! Please come home!!!!!!!”) as well as Kim Kardashian, who called it "The best video EVER!!!!!!”

While hubby, Tom Hanks, didn’t make a cameo, Wilson did appear to look off-camera and smile. Maybe Hanks is expanding his photography skills to cinematography?[video_embed id='1921568']RELATED: Tom Hanks keeps the world updated from isolation[/video_embed]Over the weekend, Hanks took to Twitter to let his 16.5M followers know that after two weeks, they’re on the mend. Both Wilson and Hanks have been vocal advocates for physical distancing and sending messages of hope: This isn’t the first time 63-year-old Wilson has belted it out. Last week, the songstress joined other celebrities like John Legend, Chris Martin and Miley Cyrus, giving an Instagram Live performance of her single, ‘Broken Man’ for her followers.

Last summer, Wilson and Sugarland’s Kristian Bush did a cross-U.S. tour, wrapping up on June 19th in Pennsylvania. Wilson has also collaborated with songwriters Mitch Allan (Demi Lovato), Mozella (Madonna) and producer John Shanks (Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks).Whatever Wilson’s next plans are during her quarantine, we sure could use more impromptu rapping. We wonder if she’s taking requests. Maybe a duet with son, Chet?[video_embed id='-1']BEFORE YOU GO: Pool gets destroyed to rescue horse that fell in[/video_embed]
