Miles Teller was seen back at work on the set of his upcoming Paramount+ miniseries The Offer on Tuesday after clarifying his vaccination status.
In a tweet published Monday, the 34-year-old actor claimed he had been vaccinated against Covid-19 ‘for a while.’
DailyMail.com exclusively reported in September that Teller had ‘brought the virus to the set’ and forced the series about the making of The Godfather to halt production because he had previously refused to take the coronavirus vaccine.

He was pictured Tuesday walking around set in a more reserved outfit than some of his previously glimpsed period costumes.
The Spectacular now star wore a gray striped polo shirt with a black collar and a matching pair of black pants.
He stuck to the monochrome theme with black shoes and a black leather belt, and he wore his dark hair slicked back.
Teller made a point of following coronavirus safety procedures by wearing a black mask on set during down time, though he removed it while preparing to film a scene with his costar Dan Fogler.

Controversy has swirled around Teller since DailyMail.com’s reported about his Covid-19 infection.
In addition to refusing the vaccine, the actor even refused to take a Covid-19 test prior to arriving on set, where he eventually tested positive.
But on Monday he seemed to put concerns about his vaccination status and the safety of his coworkers to rest by claiming that he had gotten the jab.
‘Hey guys, I don’t usually feel the need to address rumors on here but I am vaccinated and have been for a while,’ he wrote, adding, ‘The only thing I’m anti is hate.’

Famous friend: Teller was back in the news after his friend Aaron Rodgers tested positive and was revealed to be unvaccinated; Miles and wife Keleigh Sperry (L) pictured with Rodgers (R) and fiancée Shailene Woodley
Despite claiming that he’s now vaccinated, Teller didn’t specify when he had received the shot and didn’t offer any clarity to the reports that he had brought the virus to the series, which necessitated a temporary shutdown of production.
Teller found himself back in the news earlier in November after his friend, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, tested positive for Covid-19.
The athlete had represented himself as vaccinated and had gone maskless during interactions with reporters, even though the NFL requires unvaccinated players to be masked when indoors.
In August, he claimed to reporters that he was ‘immunized,’ though that turned out to have been a euphemism.
He claimed that he was unable to take either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines because he was allergic to an ingredient in them, and he refused to take the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine because of an extremely rare blood-clotting side effect, which primarily affected women under 50.
In it together: After Teller tweeted that he was vaccinated, his wife Keleigh Sperry showed her support for him by reposting it to her Instagram Stories

In addition to starring in The Offer, the War Dogs actor will star alongside Tom Cruise in the long delayed sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
He plays Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw, the son of the late Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw (played by Anthony Edwards in the original film), who’s a pilot in training, while Cruise returns as Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell.
Maverick’s career seems to have stalled, and he works as an instructor to younger pilots and a test flyer while many of his former colleagues have moved up in the ranks.
After being delayed several times, the action film is expected to be released in theaters in May of 2022.
Controversy: Teller signed on to replace controversial Armie Hammer as Ruddy in May, but he became the subject of controversy himself
