In the video, he said: “All right, I just got my vaccine and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.”

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels actor Steve Martin, 75, thanked science following his jab.

He tweeted: “Good news/Bad news. Good news: I just got vaccinated! Bad news: I got it because I’m 75. Ha! The operation in NYC was smooth as silk (sorry about the cliche @BCDreyer!) and hosted to perfection by the US Army and National Guard. Thank you all, and thank you science.”

The Scottish comedian, who lives in the US, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2013 and retired from live performances five years later.
