In March came the news that that Hollywood actor Bruce Willis (67) had put his film career on the shelf. At the same time, it became known that Willis was affected by the diagnosis of aphasia, which is a language disorder due to disease or damage to the brain, according to The Aphasia Association in Norway.
Lately, however, there have been rumors that Willis’ good friend and film producer Randall Emmett (51) has pressured the actor to work, despite his medical condition.
It became known on Thursday, when the award-winning journalist Amy Kaufman wrote in the LA Times a longer article on charges against Emmett. It is claimed that the manufacturer knew how Willis’ health was doing, without taking any special account of it.

He himself has denied the allegations. Now Willis’ lawyer also goes out and clears up the misunderstanding.
– My client continued to work after he was diagnosed because he wanted to work and was able to do so, just like many others diagnosed with aphasia who are able to continue working, Martin Singer stated to Los Angeles Timesand add to:
– Because Willis appeared in these films, they could be financed. As a result, thousands of people had jobs, many even during the covid-19 pandemic.
A representative of Emmett has also commented on the case. He did the opposite Us Weeklyand believed that the actor would never have been on a film set if he did not want it himself.

– Randall is very proud of the work he and Bruce Willis have done for the past 15 years. In every movie they have made together, Bruce enjoyed being on the set, playing golf, going to dinners and talking to the crew. If Bruce had not wanted to be on the set, he would not be there. Willis is one of the greatest actors of his time and was sought after by several production companies until he recently retired. Randall counts him among his closest friends, the representative said.
