Bruce Willis admits to 'error in judgment' after not wearing mask inside Los Angeles Rite Aid
Fox News ^ | January 13, 2020 | Tyler McCarthy

Bruce Willis is speaking out after he was asked to leave a Rite Aid in Los Angeles for not wearing a mask.

A source told Fox News that the 65-year-old "Die Hard" actor entered the pharmacy around 3 p.m. Tuesday and immediately made other patrons uncomfortable because he was not covering his face in the store.

Rite Aid has required customers to use face coverings in all store locations since July 21 in light of the coronavirus pandemic. When an employee asked Willis to cover his face, the sources said he seemed "disgruntled" and opted instead to leave without buying anything.

In a statement to People, Willis admitted that he should have masked up before going into the Rite Aid.

"It was an error in judgment," he told the outlet.

He added: "Be safe out there everyone and let’s continue to mask up."

In the photo, Willis wears a black hat, black jacket, striped T-shirt and jeans. He also has a scarf around his neck, but it’s unclear if that could have acted as a face covering if he pulled it up.

California remains the state hit hardest by the coronavirus, with 2,804,663 cases as of Wednesday morning.

The novel coronavirus has infected more than 91,669,273 people across 191 countries and territories, resulting in at least 1,963,934 deaths. In the U.S., all 50 states plus the District of Columbia have reported confirmed cases of COVID-19, tallying more than 22,846,810 illnesses and at least 380,796 deaths.

Willis’ appearance at a Los Angeles store means he’s back in the city after opting to spend the onset of the quarantine with his ex-wife Demi Moore and their daughters Rumer, 32, Scout, 29, and Tallulah, 26 at their home in Idaho.

Meanwhile, Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, and their two young children Mabel, 8,...

Bruce wants to keep working in Hollywood.
He wants to keep his house in Sun Valley, ID.

Hold on a minute here, Bruce Willis, the movie star, goes into a CVS and no one is happy to get a sighting of the man?

No one goes up to him for an pic and an autograph?

Get me the smelling salts Martha!

I think I’ve spent a total of around 90 minutes with a mask covering my face since this nonsense started. And about half of that was on a 3 hour flight. I have all sorts of explanations if confronted by a Karen. On the plane I was able to nibble peanuts on the flight. Their rules say you don’t have to wear a mask while eating, so I spent almost the entire flight nibbling peanuts and sipping water. It drove the Karen a row up on the other side bananas. :)

Yeah, I don’t get it.

He’s rich.
He’s famous.
He’s at retirement age, if he chooses.
His kids are grown.

Why is he running scared? Why apologize? Is he afraid that his career will suffer?

Grow a pair, Bruce.

He is an actor that plays tough guys, that doesn’t mean he actually is in real life.

I don’t know...sometimes you have to pick your battles. I wear a mask in places required by our pervert queen...don’t want the biz owner to get in trouble.

Clearly, this is worth national attention.

I saw an ad by Chris Christie urging people to wear a mask:

“Today, I think about how wrong it is to let mask wearing divide us, especially as we now know you’re twice as likely to get Covid-19 if you don’t wear a mask. Because if you don’t do the right thing, we could all end up on the wrong side of history. Please wear a mask.”

Maybe many people are not familiar with Bruce Willis... I remember watching MOONLIGHTING back in 1980s... I even remember Bruce Willis playing a bad guy on an episode of MIAMI VICE...He played an arms dealer...Cops planted bugs in the mansion...They heard Willis' character being very abusive towards the wife...But, they were not allowed to intervene...

I had a neighbor who was a retired carrier based Marine Fighter Pilot. He looked and talked so much like Bruce Willis that it was uncanny. The first time I saw him, he said that they were the poor white trash in the neighborhood. His wife was standing next to him and she got very angry. She replied in a heavy southern accent, “We ain't no poor white trash!” And she started hitting him with a big wooden spoon while he laughed.
