He has also tried himself in family comedies. Just last year, Bruce starred in seven films, and three have already been released this year, none of which received critical acclaim. Eight more films, which are completed, are set to be released in 2022 and 2023.
In recent years, most of his work has been limited to minor roles in low-budget projects which triggered speculations about the reasons behind it. While some believed he was aiming to easy pay-checks, there were those who suspected something could be wrong with his health.
The “Golden Raspberry Awards,” an annual awards ceremony that honors the worst in film, created a whole category dedicated to Bruce’s recent work called “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie,” making fun of his eight direct-to-video performances.
It has been reported by certain media outlets and magazines that some of Bruce’s co-workers did suspect something was wrong with the A-list actor as he had been spotted wearing earpiece on set.
Having been one of the Hollywood’s highest-paid actors, it’s safe to say that Bruce Willis has his retirement fund settled. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the actor has a net worth of $250 million.
Recently, a source shared with US Weekly that Bruce’s family is honored by the response from the public. They revealed that they are “deeply touched at the sheer outpouring of love and support they’ve received ever since they shared the news,” the insider told the magazine.
As it appears, his closest family, including his ex and his current wife, were well aware of Bruce’s health condition for some time before they decided to break the news to the public. Sharing the diagnosis with the fans brought a “sense of relief” to the family because it means that the actor can now focus on his health without being disturbed by speculations about the reasons which led to his retirement from the big screen.
Following the diagnosis, Bruce was pictured with 10-year-old daughter Mabel and wife Emma Heming Willis, who took the selfie along with the caption: “PJS and new Magic Johnson doc, perfection.”
We will miss this great actor on screen, but we are glad he’s getting the help he needs.
