Bruce Willis claims to be vaccinated.

“Yes, I am vaccinated. But I must say, if I could be kind enough to say, I didn’t do it willingly”, Willis had said during an interview in 2021.

Willis was reportedly being asked to leave a Los Angeles store for refusing to wear a face mask sometime ago.

The Die Hard actor, 65, was pictured entering and leaving a California pharmacy without a face covering.

“It was an error in judgment,” Willis had said.

“Be safe out there everyone and let’s continue to mask up,” he added.

Many people reacted to Willis’s flouting of the regulation on Twitter, with some labelling him a “Covidiot”.

ER doctor Cleavon MD re-posted the story to alert “all my healthcare providers in Los Angeles on the frontlines of the pandemic seeing countless patients die”.

US reporter Olivia Messer said “just pulling the bandana” or scarf he was wearing around his neck “over his nose” might have helped.
