Billy Baldwin isn’t sweating Gavin Newsom‘s refusal to fully reopen CA — saying vaccine rates need to go up … and that, eventually, we’ll all have to play ball to get back to normal.
We talked to the actor Saturday in Bev Hills, where our photog asked what he made of Gov. Newsom’s apparent backtracking on his June 15 date … which is when he was supposed to lift all COVID restrictions, but clarified he wouldn’t lift the state of emergency just yet.
Many are taking that as Newsom going back on his word — but according to Billy … it probably won’t make a big difference in the short term. He says people are already out and about, and things are looking a lot like they used to now more than ever.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
He also makes this point … if ya want things to truly get back to normal faster than Newsom’s timeline, the only way to do it is to get vaccinated ASAP — there’s no other way around it. He makes an even better point about holdouts and what lies ahead. Watch.
BB clearly doesn’t get the outrage over requiring vaccines, when we have a long history of doing exactly that in schools and elsewhere for kids. So, in his mind, one more can’t hurt.
Billy drops one other nugget about how this pandemic’s affected youth, including his own brood … who’ve struggled in every department, not to mention sex life. Awk, but probs true.
