Super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer revealed in a recent interview with People magazine that Bruce Willis displayed incredible generosity during the production of the highly successful 1998 film, “Armageddon.” Bruckheimer shared that Willis went above and beyond by distributing money to the crew, ensuring that everyone had some additional cash at the end of each week. This act of kindness exemplified Willis’s thoughtful and considerate nature on set. In “Armageddon,” Willis starred alongside Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, and Ben Affleck, under the direction of Michael Bay.
Ricky Gervais’ latest Netflix special, titled “Armageddon,” attempts to push boundaries and provoke with its edgy and offensive humor. However, despite its efforts, the special falls flat and fails to captivate audiences.
According to Bruckheimer, he spoke highly of Bruce, describing him as a kind and generous person. He mentioned that Bruce would often contribute a significant amount of money to the crew’s cash giveaway drawings. As a result, crew members would receive extra cash at the end of the week if they were lucky enough to win.
According to Bruckheimer, Willis was not only a talented actor but also a generous and supportive friend. During the production of “Armageddon,” the crew would contribute to a cash pot every week. Willis, being the giving person he is, would add his own money to the pot, making the reward even more substantial.
In the action-packed film “Armageddon,” a team of skilled oil drillers is recruited by NASA to embark on a daring mission into space. Their objective? To save humanity from a catastrophic asteroid collision by drilling a nuclear bomb into its core. This thrilling adventure captivated audiences worldwide, grossing an impressive $553.7 million in ticket sales and earning the title of the highest-grossing movie of 1998.
‘Moonlighting’ creator shares the story of how he informed Bruce Willis about the show’s streaming debut. The actor, who was not fully able to communicate at the time, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity.
In 2022, Willis made the decision to retire from acting after his family revealed his diagnosis of aphasia. It was in February 2023 when his family publicly confirmed that his aphasia was caused by frontotemporal dementia. Since then, numerous individuals who have worked with Willis in his films have expressed their admiration and support for him.
“I have immense admiration for him,” expressed Arnold Schwarzenegger when discussing Bruce Willis in May. “He has been a remarkable and influential star for many years. I am confident that he will always be remembered as a legendary figure in the industry. Moreover, he is a genuinely kind-hearted individual. I acknowledge that due to his health condition, he had to step back from his career. However, in general, action heroes like us never truly retire – we simply reload.”
Both Schwarzenegger and Willis made appearances in Sylvester Stallone’s action films “The Expendables” and “The Expendables 2.”
Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming, recently shared an update on his health condition, expressing that it is difficult to determine if he is fully aware of what is happening.
