Bruce Willis was asked to leave a Los Angeles store Monday after he failed to wear a face mask, a report says.

While visiting a Rite Aid, Willis, 65, refused to wear a mask — despite having a bandanna tied around his neck, which he could have pulled up and used as a face covering, Page Six reported, citing an unnamed source. The eyewitness said the other shoppers were unhappy with Willis going maskless, which was in violation of the Los Angeles County mask mandate.

The "Die Hard" star was asked to wear a mask, but he refused and was subsequently asked to exit, per the report. The source said Willis was photographed at the store without a mask on and was unable to make his purchase before leaving the pharmacy.

Page Six reached out to Willis' rep for comment but has not received a response.

Los Angeles County is the epicenter of California's coronavirus surge and surpassed 10,000 COVID-19 deaths in December, CNN reported.

Willis spent much of the lockdown quarantining with his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and their three daughters, Rumer, 32, Scout, 29, and Tallulah, 26, at the family's home in Idaho.

Due to their arrangement, there were speculations that Willis' marriage to wife Emma Hemmings was on the rocks. However, his daughter, Scout, explained why they ended up living in the same house during the lockdown.

"My stepmom was going to come up here with my little sisters. But my younger sister, who is now actually 7 years old, at a park, had never gotten a talk about not [expletive] with hypodermic needles that she found, so she actually tried to poke her shoe with it and poked her foot," she said at the "Dopey" podcast.

"So my stepmom had to be in L.A. waiting to get the results from taking her to the doctor so my dad came up here early and then travel got crazy so my stepmom stayed in L.A. with my little sisters," she continued.

As for having both of her parents in the same home where they raised them, Scout said it was "cute." She was also amused by the public's interest in her famous mom and dad.

"It’s just so funny because to me they’re just like my super [expletive] weird parents but to everyone else, they’re at this different level," she added.

Willis and Moore, who married in November 1987, separated in June 1998 and finalized their divorce in 2000.
