Bruce Willis is speaking after being asked to leave a Rite Aid in Los Angeles because he is not wearing a mask.
A source told Fox News the 65-year-old “The Hard” actor entered the pharmacy around 3pm on Tuesday and immediately made other customers uncomfortable because he did not cover his face in the store.
Rite Aid has been requiring customers to use face masks at all stores since July 21 in light of the coronavirus pandemic. When an employee asked Willis to cover his face, sources said he looked ‘dissatisfied’ and preferred to leave without buying anything.
In a statement to People, Willis admits he should have disguised himself before entering Rite Aid.
