Bruce Willis “Found Secret Ways Of Working Through Degenerative Illness,” Wife Reveals In Book


Emma Heming Willis's book details how her husband found secret ways to cope with his medical condition.

However, according to news.com.au, Heming Willis’s book will reveal that her action hero husband had found ways to continue to work on films such as Assassin(2023) and the Detective Knight series (2022-23), having directors reduce his dialogue and employing a trusted friend to feed him lines through an earpiece. The website adds that the actor’s deterioration wasn’t immediately apparently either on set or on screen, because Willis had always had a slow speech pattern, after having a stutter as a child – something he once told interviewer Michael Parkinson he was able to put to good effect: He had his breakthrough success in early 1980s TV series Moonlighting, co-starring with Cybil Shepherd as private detectives David Addison and Maddie Hayes.
