He added, “There will come a time where you’re going to have to roll the dice one way or the other and go: ‘Where are the numbers in my favor?’”
He also shared that as of “right now,” he’s not vaccinating his own children. “Do I think that there’s any kind of scam or conspiracy theory?” he asked. “Hell no, I don’t.”
He suggested the public “get off” such a “narrative,” insisting that “there’s not a conspiracy theory on the vaccines.” The actor added that both he and his wife, Camila Alves, are vaccinated.
He said that his 90-year-old mother, who is staying with them, is immunocompromised, prompting him to receive the vaccine. He insisted he “chose” to do it rather than do it because he was “told” to.
The “Dallas Buyers Club” actor also added that he’s fortunate enough to be able to “quarantine harder” and rely on heavy COVID-19 testing, noting, “I’m in a position, though, where I can do that, and I understand that not everyone can do that.”
