Read More »Bruce Willis displayed signs of cognitive issues, such as memory loss and confusion, on movie sets in the recent years leading up to his aphasia diagnosis and retirement from acting, filmmakers and co-stars say. In a statement released on Wednesday, the veteran movie star's family announced he has been diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects the ability to communicate. "Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," the family statement, signed by wife, Emma, ex-wife Demi Moore, and daughters Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel, and Evelyn, read . Now, directors, producers and former co-stars who worked with Willis on various movies in recent years are recalling the concerns they expressed over what they viewed as an obvious decline in his ability to perform at his best. Directors, such as Mike Burns ("Out of Death") and Jesse V. Johnson ("White Elephant") said his lines and monologues had to be reduced as he had difficulty remembering them and even understanding why he was on set. BRUCE WILLIS RECEIVES SUPPORT FROM HOLLYWOOD STARS AFTER SHARING APHASIA DIAGNOSIS: 'MAY HE REST AND RECOVER' Burns said he first relayed the message that Willis' script in "Out of Death" would need to be cut "by about 5 pages" in a June 2020 email to the screenwriter, The Los Angeles Times reports. "I could see it firsthand and I realized that there was a bigger issue at stake here and why I had been asked to shorten his lines," Burns recalled to the outlet when recalling his first day of working with the action movie veteran. This led Burns to feel conflicted about working with the "Die Hard" alum in the future. When he was given the opportunity to direct "Wrong Place," another film starring Willis, he admitted to being concerned about his health. After being told Willis was "a whole different person," Burns said he once again noticed his decline when filming began in October 2021. "I didn’t think he was better; I thought he was worse," Burns said. "After we finished, I said: ‘I’m done. I’m not going to do any other Bruce Willis movies.’ I am relieved that he is taking time off."

Read More »Almost two dozen people who worked with Willis in some capacity on movies in recent years told the LA Times that they voiced their concerns. At one point, Willis began using an "earwig" to help him remember his lines during scenes, several insiders claimed. If there were scenes involving gunfire, a body double was used in Willis' place. One concerning event took place on the set of "Hard Kill" when Willis unexpectedly fired a gun that was loaded with a blank, two people familiar with the incident alleged. According to the report, no one was injured. The film's producer has disputed the incident occurred. Actress Kent, whose back was to Willis in the scene, recalled being unaware of "what was happening behind me." Willis was expected to deliver the line before shooting the gun, but it appeared the gun fired before he delivered the line. "Because my back was to him, I wasn’t aware of what was happening behind me. But the first time, it was like, ‘No big deal, let’s reset,’" she claimed, adding that she asked director Matt Eskandari, who has not commented on the matter, to remind Willis to say the line first before firing. The incident happened again on the second take, two crew members claimed. The sources claimed Kent was "shaken," according to the report. One crew member alleged Willis "did fire the gun on the wrong line." "We always made sure no one was in the line of fire when he was handling guns," one of the crew members further alleged. Co-founder of Emmett/Furla Oasis Randall Emmettt has worked with Willis on some 20 movies in his career. Emmett, who was previously engaged to Kent, declined to comment on the "Hard Kill" misfires, citing medical privacy laws.
