Steve Martin received the coronavirus vaccine over the weekend in New York City.
The comedian-actor, 75, detailed the experience on Twitter and called it "smooth as silk."
"Good news/Bad news. Good news: I just got vaccinated! Bad news: I got it because I’m 75. Ha!" Martin wrote.
"The operation in NYC was smooth as silk (sorry about the cliché @BCDreyer!) and hosted to perfection by the US Army and National Guard. Thank you all, and thank you science," he described.

"I signed up ON line through an NYC dot gov website (sorry I don’t have the exact site), and waited IN line at the Javits Center," he recalled and joked he's having no "fide resects."
Country legends Willie Nelson and Loretta Lynn also announced that they'd received their vaccines.
"Well, I bundled up and Peggy Jean and I rolled out of Hurricane Mills so I could get this vaccine," Lynn, 88, wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of herself on Saturday. "I’m sure glad to get it and am sure ready to put Covid in the rear view mirror! And I enjoyed the mom daughter time, too!"

"He was bragging yesterday after he got it that he didn't even have a sore arm," the star's wife, Annie, told Rolling Stone. "Now, today, of course his arm is sore. We're both just a little tired. I don't know if we wouldn't be tired anyway, but we're gonna do what they said and let the vaccine do its job."
