Popular comedian Kevin Hart recently talked about the legendary actor Bruce Willis.
Willis was recently spotted for the first time since his family revealed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last month. The retired actor stepped out in Santa Monica on Thursday. FTD symptoms often arise in younger patients between the ages of 40 and 65, according to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
In an interview published by the Bild newspaper, a person close to the actor claims that his symptoms have worsened. The symptoms first began to show up in Bruce Willis, as reported by the British newspaper Daily Mail, two years earlier.
During the filming sessions in which the actor was present, people present could already sense that something was not right. He had difficulty in holding conversations, coupled with not being able to connect words correctly.
Kevin Hart is looking forward to fans checking out Die Hart 2: Die Harter, the second season of his action-comedy series, for a special reason.
Season 2 of the Roku Channel series debuts 35 years after the premiere of the Bruce Willis-led film it proudly parodies, Die Hard. Willis played John McClane, a New York City police detective who continually gets caught up in various terrorist takeovers where he is the only hope against disaster.
Die Hart‘s parody of the franchise is especially poignant since the fifth and final installment, A Good Day to Die Hard, premiered in 2013 and marked Willis’ last portrayal of John McClane before he stepped away from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia in 2022.
Hart contributed the “synergy and energy” behind his series to the franchise and its leading man and told ET, “I’m a big Bruce Willis fan. I believe he is one of the best action stars of all time so it’s only right I would parody something after what he built.”
He added, “We’re two guys with amazing physiques and amazing understanding how to kick a**.”
