Long before any of the Cop Out stuff, I was a big Bruce Willis fan – so this is really heartbreaking to read. He loved to act and sing and the loss of that has to be devastating for him. I feel like an asshole for my petty complaints from 2010. So sorry to BW and his family. https://t.co/npSgvkb5v7

All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis. I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. He will always be that hero on that poster on my wall as kid.

Thinking about the time I watched The Sixth Sense with one of my best friends (who Orla from Derry Girls is based on ) and when the big twist happened at the end, she turned to me and said “ Ah, I get it. Bruce Willis IS the boy”

I wanted to send some love to #BruceWillis. He’s the first celebrity I ever met. Back in the 90’s, touring with Second City at a show in Sun Valley,ID. Imagine our delight when we found out he was in the audience! He came backstage and couldn’t have been sweeter to us wannabes.❤️

Truly, it pains to see the man who won hearts with Moonlighting and then gave master performances in The Sixth Sense, The Last Boy Scout, Pulp Fiction, and many others, retire from acting. But as they say, health comes first and we hope that Bruce Willis finds peace in his battle with aphasia.
