Taking to his Instagram handle on Friday, January 21, the Special 26 actor shared the video clip as he spoke about the importance of vaccinations, stating he doesn't want to die from the 'COVID-19 clutter on a hospital bed' if he gets sick, not being able to hug his loved ones, among other things. "Can't say it clearer, I'm vaccinated for me and I wear a mask for you," he added. 

In the caption, he also mentioned, "No, I don't know what's in the vaccine!! Neither this vaccine nor the ones I had as a child! Like Measles, mumps, rubella, polio, chickenpox, hepatitis, influenza, tetanus. We trusted the science! I also don't know exactly what is the long-term effect of mobile phone use!! But we all use it! There are a lot of things I don't know. I do know one thing: life is short. Very short. And I, personally, still want to do things." Take a look.
