In a rare update, months after Bruce Willis announced his retirement due to health issues and a battle with aphasia, Willis’s longtime friend actor Sylvester Stallone is letting the world know how Willis is doing.
While talking with The Hollywood Reporter, Stallone had this to say about Bruce Willis. “Bruce is going through some really, really difficult times. So he’s been sort of incommunicado. That kills me. It’s so sad.”
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, on August 30, model Emma Heming Willis, who is also married to legendary actor Bruce Willis opened up about grief. The message comes just months after it was revealed Bruce would be retiring from acting.
