A source that spoke to Page Six said the 65-year-old walked into the store with a bandana wrapped around his neck and when he was asked to put it over his nose, he declined.

The Die Hard actor chose to walk out of the store without the items he had gone to buy simply because he did not see the need to wrap half his face with a mask.

Later after being met with criticism and disappointment from people online, Bruce released a statement.

Through People magazine, the actor said his actions were an error in judgement.

“Be safe out there everyone and let's continue to mask up,” the 65-year-old said.
