Bruce Willis is one of the most beloved and charismatic actors in Hollywood. Retired from the cinema due to illness, he has recorded this wink to the fans.
Only the youngest will not hear his name. But if you are over 25 years old, surely you know Bruce Willis.
It was revealed in the series Moonlight in the 80s, but reached its consecration with the saga of The jungle of crystalin the 90s. For more than 30 years it has been one of the most popular and blockbuster actors in Hollywoodwith hits like pulpfiction, The fifth elementTwelve Monkeys, The Sixth Senseand even independent films.
But life changed a few months ago, when his current wife, Emma Heming Willis, their two daughters together Mabel and Evelyn, as well as his first wife, actress Demi Moore, and their three children together Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, they announced that Bruce Willis was retiring from film and television due to being diagnosed with aphasia:
The aphasia it is a language disorder that is characterized by the inability or difficulty to communicate through speech, writing, or mimicry. It is due to a brain injury caused by a strong blow to the head, a stroke, or a tumor.
There are many degrees, but it is characterized by the patient is unable to communicate. It can affect speech, writing, or both.
Since then Bruce Willis has hardly been seen in public. Until today. To celebrate Jungle of Glass 34th Anniversaryhis wife Emma Heming Willis has posted a short video on Instagram where you can see Bruce Willis atop the Nakatomi Plaza skyscraper, the place where the film takes place
The real skyscraper is the building Fox Squarelocated in the Century City area of Los Angeles.
In The jungle of crystal Bruce Willis plays the mythical John McClane, an off-duty NYPD. He confronts a group of criminals in a Los Angeles skyscraper who have taken a group of hostages, including McClane’s wife.
An action film like hundreds of others that exist, elevated to the category of classic, mainly because of the charisma of Bruce Willis.
In 2017, the United States Library of Congress selected The Glass Jungle to be preserved in the National Film Registry for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant“.
At 67 years old, Bruce Willis has other priorities today. He looks good in the video, so his fans will surely be happy to see him back on top of the skyscraper where he reached the height of his fame.
But the story of La Jungla de Cristal continues without him: Disney+ plans to shoot a remake of the film, with other protagonists. Something that, historically, has almost never gone well…
