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]The Razzie announcement was in Feb. Perhaps they’ll walk that back now.[/quote]
Bruce Willis in Moonlighting was my first celebrity crush and I still love him, but he was definitely familiar with the Razzies even when he was perfectly healthy. You can’t be that prolific and not make a bunch of duds. But when he was good it was amazing.[/quote]

Same, have crushed on him since Moonlighting. I wondered if he made all of those B films recently to stockpile money for his family, knowing he’d need to retire soon due to this condition. [/quote]

I think that was the deal, yes.  He made a contract with a producer to give his name to a bunch of straight-to-video movies in exchange for money, and the producer was aware of his need for specific supports.  Both benefitted.  [/quote]

Between Moonlighting residuals for syndication and the many millions he was paid for years of blockbuster movies, why the hell did he need to do that?[/quote]

Because[b] he has 5 kids[/b] with 2 different women—2 of whom are quite young, and their mother doesn’t work. Plus, he might need costly care as he ages. Smart to quickly get paid before he had to retire. [/quote]

3 of his kids are adults, and his net worth is hundreds of millions. He didn't need to make any more money for himself and his family. Did you read the LA Times article? He didn't know where he was or why he was there. That goes way beyond having lines fed to him.[/quote]
