Bruce Willis’ wife, 67, model Emma Heming Willis, 43, showed the record of what was her husband’s first walk in the middle of nature and thrilled fans. At the moment made in video and in images, she wrote: “Mom and Dad in their favorite habitat”. The photo was taken by their daughter, Mabel, 10.
This was Willis’ first record after he stepped out of the Hollywood spotlight. His family has announced that he will retire after receiving a diagnosis of aphasia, a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects communication skills.
Although the news of his departure surprised many fans, people who worked with the actor had suspected that there was something wrong with the artist for years.
The US website Los Angeles Times interviewed a group of 20 people who had been working alongside Willis on filming, who reported that he was already with deteriorating cognitive abilities, forgetting his lines, the reason for being on set and even even firing a scenographic weapon at the wrong time.
Interviewees reported that the star was reminded of her lines through a headset, known as “tesourinha”. In addition, most of the action scenes, especially those involving scenographic shots, would have been done with stuntmen.
Another source reported that two years ago, on the set of the movie “Hard to Kill” (2020), Willis reportedly fired a loaded gun with a bullet at the wrong time. According to two interviewees, no one was injured, but the incident should not be discussed.
The statement about the diagnosis of aphasia was shared this Wednesday (30) and was directed to Willis’ fans. “We would like to share that our beloved Bruce is experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia which is affecting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with great consideration Bruce is stepping back from the career that has meant so much to him. “
“This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so grateful for your continued love, compassion and support. We are going through this as a strong family unit and we would like to bring this to the fans because we know how much he means to you, just as you mean to him,” the family said in a statement.
A successful actor in Hollywood, Willis burst into career when he debuted in the television series “The Cat and the Mouse”, broadcast between 1985 and 1989 in the United States. Another role that raised him to fame was as John McClane in the action film “Die Hard” (1988), his first starring role.
Over the course of his career, Willis’ films have grossed over $5 billion worldwide. He has been nominated for five Golden Globes and three Emmys.
