Hugh Bonneville received his injection of COVID-19 while working as a volunteer vaccine delegate at his local medical center in England.

The Downton Abbey star shared a photo of himself being vaccinated while proudly donning his volunteer T-shirt and giving a thumbs-up.

The 57-year-old volunteered at the Midhurst Riverbank Medical Center in West Sussex, England, and posted on Instagram about how proud he was to be able to help during the pandemic.

The Bonneville caption revealed that he received an AstraZeneca vaccination, the same type received by British colleague Joan Collins.

Other stars that have been vaccinated include Ian McKellen, David Attenborough, Prue Leith, Steve Martin, Mandy Patinkin, Anthony Hopkins, Martha Stewart, Samuel L. Jackson, Tyler Perry and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The Paddington star recently complained that he is regularly the target of trolls who pretend to be him on social media.

He told the Daily Mail: “Approximately every two weeks, some idiot who doesn’t know how to spell opens two new accounts pretending to be me.

“They send useless private messages to the people who follow me, hoping to lure them into a strange cave under a rock near the sea anemones of their imagination.”

However, Bonneville shared many genuine posts about his life during the coronavirus pandemic on his actual Instagram and Twitter pages, and his fans congratulated him on receiving the vaccine.
