I get Tom Cruise but given Bruce Willis’ mental decline I’m willing to overlook the last decade or two of his career.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Young Bruce Willis was hilarious and nuanced. Hudson Hawk, Death Becomes Her, 12 Monkeys, the Jackal, and of course Moonlighting. He was willing to do wacky and silly and serious, and created memorable characters. He deserves to be remembered for that. The recent cash grabs should be ignored when considering his body of work. Pretty much everything since the Sin City sequel.

He basically was just working to provide for his family before his mental difficulties caught up with him, as I understand it.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Yeah, iirc he got the diagnosis and just told his agent to say yes to literally everything he could do.

[–] Wiz@midwest.social 2 points 8 hours ago

His acting was superb in Oceans Twelve!

(He played "Bruce Willis as himself".)

[–] sunbrrnslapper@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I meant his work, not so much him as a person (which I know nothing about).
