Action hero Bruce Willis, star of the “Die Hard” franchise, is to retire from acting due to an illness affecting his cognitive faculties, his family announced Wednesday.
“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”Aphasia is typically caused by a stroke or head injury — though in more rare cases can come on gradually and progressively. But it was as hard-bitten hero John McClane in “Die Hard” that he became a bankable major star of the cinema, sparking a career that has generated billions of dollars of box office receipts.
Willis won a Golden Globe and two Emmys during his career, but last weekend was the recipient of a far-less welcome honor — the Razzie for “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie,” a specially devised category.
It is well with him
Mr Die Hard! Get well soon.
Finally
Awww! That's sad.
'The last man standing.' I will miss him.
Damn it 😐
