Woody Harrelson came under fire for spreading a conspiracy theory about COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue, the “Zombieland” actor took aim at “absurd” protocols on Hollywood sets.“I don’t think that anybody should have the right to demand that you’re forced to do the testing, forced to wear the mask and forced to get vaccinated three years on.

I’m just like, Let’s be done with this nonsense. It’s not fair to the crews,” Harrelson, 61, told New York Times Magazine in an interview published late last week.“I don’t have to wear the mask.

Why should they? Why should they have to be vaccinated? How’s that not up to the individual? I shouldn’t be talking about this [expletive],” continued the “True Detective” actor. “It makes me angry for the crew.

The anarchist part of me, I don’t feel that we should have forced testing, forced masking and forced vaccination. That’s not a free country.”The “Solo: A Star Wars Story” actor clarified he cares more about crew members being able to take off masks, as he and other actors can do when delivering their lines.“Really I’m talking about the crew.
