[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Must be bad if his family is putting out a statement instead of him. Good luck to them all.[/quote]Also explains the weird pandemic family set up they had going. Bruce was pictured living with Demi and his adult daughters during Covid in a remote area but not with his second wife and under 8 daughters.[/quote]So his youngest kids wouldn’t know what was going on? I wonder how he was able to handle his brief appearance in his movie that was filmed in 2020.[/quote]

Terribly and I can see why his family his making this public now. He was prolific. They wouldn't want him to diminish his portfolio by struggling in roles or just dropping out.

Bruce Willis — who starred in no less than eight movies in 2021 — has been given his own category at the 42nd annual Razzie Awards. “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie” is the name of the new category, and the nominations include every single film he starred in last year, including American Siege, Apex, Cosmic Sin, Deadlock, Fortress, Midnight in the Switchgrass, Out of Death, and Survive the Game. Midnight in the Switchgrass was dead last in Vulture’s ranking of straight-to-VOD Bruce Willis films, with our reviewer commenting, “Bruce Willis is a nonessential worker here.” [/i]

Honestly I am happy we have an explanation for why his acting was so terrible in recent movies, it felt like he didn’t care but instead was just struggling. [/quote]

So that begs the question why he did all of those movies last year. 
Not clear if he was contracted to do the movies before his symptoms / diagnosis, or if symptoms began and he couldn’t get out of the projects, or if he was symptomatic and still wanted to continue filming for some reason. 
Seems unkind to release details about his poor acting now knowing this diagnosis. [/quote]

I think it's more likely the patient does not measure the impact of his disability, and that the family has stepped in to persuade him not to engage so much. Part of that is to go public. No knowledge of this particular case, but this is usually what happens.[/quote]

This. Happened in our family. Person goes into denial and wants the normalcy of work.[/quote]

And when that happens, it's really hard to tell the person they CAN'T work any more.  Because when is the line where they can vs can't make their own decisions.  Especially if they aren't harming anyone. And aren't even "that old" yet.

If I were his current wife, though, I wouldn't let him go live with his former wife.  I'd want the time left with him. But she's got little kids to handle on her own now. So, no judgement.

All the more reason for older men in Hollywood and elsewhere to quit starting second families in their late 50s, 60s, 70s.  We're all mortal.  Deal with it and quit making poor decisions just to feel like you're a young man.[/quote]

If it's more serious than they are letting on, he may not even remember who his current wife is and only remembers Demi at this point. It happened to my dad; he could only remember things that happened 20 years before.[/quote]
+1 When I was a kid multiple older members of my Dad’s family had senile dementia. They always recognized my mom because she looked basically the same as when they met her, but they didn’t understand who my dad was or who we were. [/quote]
