U pitanju je afazija – stanje zbog kojeg je oboljelom sve teže, a kasnije i nemoguće komunicirati. Osobi izgubi mogućnost govora, a sve manje i razumijeva riječi. Očito je koliko je to u glumačkom poslu važno. Sada neke stvari sjedaju na svoje mjesto i jasno nam je zašto Bruce Willis ima sve manje rečenica u filmovima u kojima se pojavljuje.

LA Times piše kako je Mike Burns, redatelj akcijskog filma Out of Death, tražio od scenarista da skrati Willisove dijaloge te sreže monologe. Sve češće su mu kroz slušalicu diktirali rečenice koje mora izgovoriti na snimanju. Velikom broju Willisovih suradnika je postalo jasno da se gubi.
Rumer Willis, Bruceova kći je na svom Instagramu objavila post u kojem je javno obznanila kako legenda odlazi u mirovinu, a izjavu je potpisala cijela obitelj.
Internet žaluje.

Long before any of the Cop Out stuff, I was a big Bruce Willis fan – so this is really heartbreaking to read. He loved to act and sing and the loss of that has to be devastating for him. I feel like an asshole for my petty complaints from 2010. So sorry to BW and his family. https://t.co/npSgvkb5v7

All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis. I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as kid.

I first heard of Bruce Willis’ condition last year from a director who worked with him, and I’ve felt bad for him ever since. I hope he and his family are okay. I’m glad he’s getting the help he needs. Thanks for all the iconic performances. pic.twitter.com/aN8gIPYrhb
