He said: ‘I lost two friends to COVID-19. They were friends of 45 years, and I am godfather to his son.
Devastating: Pierce recently revealed that he’s lost two lifelong friends to coronavirus, asserting: ‘We are at war… People are dying!
‘No matter where you are and how beautiful it may be, you still have this awful threat to life looming.
‘You have to keep pushing the rock uphill, and you have to keep involved in life. We are at war. People are dying.’
The actor added that he hopes a silver lining of the pandemic may be that people are kinder and more aware of the ‘fragility of our planet.’
Pierce has been isolating with his wife Keely in their family cottage on the island of Kauai in Hawaii.
