[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 [b]why he did all of those movies last year. [/b]
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]

He was trying to earn as much as he could before he had to stop?[/quote]

His entire entourage was earning as much as possible before they were shut down. His earpiece guy was making $200K a movie, sometimes four hours of work, never more than a day on set.[/quote]

Instead of assuming malicious intent, perhaps imagine that Bruce knew his working days were numbered and HE wanted to do whatever he could to sock away cash for his big family (5 kids plus a wife who isn't likely to work) AND take care of his loyal staff.

I think that was the case.

His reputation was that of a party guy, but also an all around good guy.

Heck, he probably also realizes HE will incur a lot of expenses for longterm care at some point--and that will eat into whatever he can leave behind for his family.

It's sad, but I believe he is making good decisions based on his interest in providing for his family. I don't think anyone is taking advantage of him...not with Demi involved. [/quote]

There is a difference between putting him up on boring roles as a family doctor living in the suburbs and cheating on his wife and an action role where his stunts have the potential to harm and affect others. See what just happened with Alec Baldwin and killing that cinematographer. Now think back on this incident two years ago -

[b]In one alleged incident two years ago on a Cincinnati set of the movie “Hard Kill,” Willis unexpectedly fired a gun loaded with a blank on the wrong cue, according to two people familiar with the incident who were not authorized to comment. No one was injured. The film’s producer disputed that the incident occurred, but the alleged discharge left actors and crew members shaken. [/b][/quote]

And, if everyone was just indulging his wishes, why change course on the day an expose is coming out?  The story doesn't make him look bad, it makes the family and industry look bad.[/quote]
