The coronavirus lockdown means that we must stay at home to save lives. However, as the weather heats up in the spring, many people are choosing to defy the measures and go outside anyway.

Case in point, this man, who tried to sneak out during lockdown by dressing as a bush.

The incident took place in England and was filmed by neighbors Nicholas Murray and Madeline Mai-Davies. They can be heard laughing at the sight of their neighbor dressed in foliage attempting to go outside unnoticed.

Watch the hilarious incident below: 

As if the outfit itself wasn't already hilarious enough, the neighbor attempts to act like a bush as they make their way out of their home, stopping every so often to appear like a regular plant - albeit one that moves around a lot.

Once amused viewer wrote of the clip: "Leaked footage of Tom Cruise next Mission Impossible series!"

However, this man is far from the only person to get creative in a bid to defy the lockdown measures. In Spain, another man decided to dress up as a T-Rex so that he could go outside, but he ended up getting arrested regardless.

In all seriousness, the lockdown measures have been put in place for a very important reason, and we should all endeavor to respect them.

This is a difficult time for everyone and to help people get through it a number of companies are offering boredom breaking freebies. There are these photography classes from Nikon and HBO is offering 500 hours worth of free movies and TV shows.
