1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Job Mission with Jones and Amanda Well.

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 2: Announcement yesterday from the family of Bruce Willis, and it

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: was a very nice announcement in that all his children

4
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: were referenced. Both his current wife and dem his ex wife,

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: came together to announce that Bruce is retiring from acting.

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: He has a condition known as a phasia, which means

7
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 2: that his cognitive abilities are failing and speech patterns are

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: going and he can't recognize that in other people either.

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: The quote said, he's experiencing some health issues. This is

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: a really challenging time for our family. We're appreciative of

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 2: the continued love, compassion, and support. Bruce has always said,

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: live it up and together we plan to do just that.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: But he's retiring from.

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: Acting, so you can walk and do everything else.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. It's a cognitive disability.

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 3: And he's got to learn scripts and all that sort

17
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 3: of stuff.

18
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is the thing.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: And I was reading an article in the La Times yesterday.

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: So his movies, as we know, he has earned more

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: six point seven billion dollars at the box office. He

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: has massed more than that in his forty year career.

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: But him has made.

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: A whole lot of films recently and they've all been stinkers.

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: But for example, he's appeared in eight movies last year,

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: none of them critically acclaimed. Some of them he got

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: paid like twenty million dollars for a day's work. And

28
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: this is what this article is saying that a number

29
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: of producers and directors have actually been saying they've noticed

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: in recent years that Bruce wasn't himself and they've had

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: to make the parts smaller and smaller, less and less dialogue.

32
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: And when he turn up, they'd cut the script by pages,

33
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: and he was hired for a day's work, they'd make

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: him they sort of wrap it up in a couple

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: of hours because he just wasn't up to it. There

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: were some cases where he'd be on the set and

37
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: he'd look at the crew and say, no way, you're here.

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: I'm not sure why I'm here, which is very distressed

39
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: that Hudson Hawk I didn't see that one was at

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: a stinker.

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: And that was a long time before this.

42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: So yes, filmmakers have been privately concerned for years, but

43
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: he has an entourage with him. And this is where

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: what the article is sort of alluded to the fact

45
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 2: that people have been making money off Bruce that he

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: has an entourage with him. He has someone who actually

47
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: he has got an earpiece in who will say his

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: dialogue into his ears, so he doesn't have to learn

49
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: a written script and he just repeats.

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 3: I that with the camera angles. That you'll see a

51
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: lot of camera angles. And you might remember Sylvester Stallone

52
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 3: sacked Bruce from the Expendables Free he called him greedy

53
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: and lazy. This was a few years ago, so obviously

54
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: the asphasia thing wasn't out there, and.

55
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't publicly, not publicly.

56
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: Bruce and Sylvesters Delane were good mates in the old

57
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: days of Planet Hollywood, and he was going to be

58
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: in the movie. But he kept asking his people kept

59
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: asking for money. So for three days work sly offered

60
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: him three million dollars. He wanted four million dollars. So

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: Sylvester Stallone came out and said he's been greedy and lazy.

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: A perfect way to kill a career. I don't think

63
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: Salona has just recently come out and said he didn't

64
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 3: realize that he had that condition.

65
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but these stinker films, these recent stinker films, get

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: a lot of traction. When he's in them, so they

67
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: get streaming. You see his face when you're streaming and moving,

68
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 2: go let' see Bruce Milt Willis film. They get international rights.

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of people making money from having

70
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Bruce Willis in a film. So as part of his entourage,

71
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: there was someone who would speaking to his ears so

72
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: he could say the words. There was also and that

73
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: person then went on to get a movie deal of

74
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: their own with that same production company. Really there's another

75
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: story here where an actor was guaranteed bit roles in

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: his films. He served as Willis's prompter, feeding the lines.

77
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 2: That was the one through the year piece, but also

78
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: the person who was his minder on set got a

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: movie deal. The actor who would feed his lines in

80
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: was guaranteed work on all those films. He was also

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: provided we obviously with accommodation in Maui where he.

82
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: Was filming recently, etc. Etc.

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: A number of people that's the inference on Bruce and you, yeah,

84
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: you have to wonder what was in his best interests

85
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: in these recent years. But now he's retired from acting,

86
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: those people who have to find other things to do.

87
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 3: Did you like romantic Bruce? Did you like funny Bruce.

88
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 3: Did you like traumatic Bruce?

89
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: Was moonlighting Bruce with the bull shepherd poo eating green

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: as we called it.

91
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: That's right, first fell in love with?

92
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: What about? Did you ever see him in Blind Date

93
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: with Kim Bassinger? No, that wasn't bad.

94
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 1: What about obviously the die Hard films?

95
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 3: Die Hard films? Of all the Diehards, what's your best

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: die Hard?

97
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Come the one with the one with Alan,

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: the first one.

99
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 3: Die Hard, and then there's Diehard two.

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: And die Job he started together?

101
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: Ty had three? That was good. That was Samuel Jackson,

102
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 3: then die Hard.

103
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: Four and then let me guess, was there five?

104
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? The Good Day to die Hard? I think that was.

105
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: It might have been just a movie post for diehards.

106
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that was a parody.

107
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: I can't remember. But you know that's sad and well

108
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 3: he not condolences, but it's.

109
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Just it is sad and he and also it's brought.

110
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: A phasia to light. I was listening to a lady

111
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 3: talk about aphasia. I didn't realize if this was a punishment.

112
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: So that brings attention to it, although it gives me

113
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 3: something else to be anxious about. Now, do you think

114
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: I've got a phasure.

115
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:21,559
Speaker 1: I think you'd be worried about your acting career.

116
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: Have you seen fat Pizza versus Houses? I was great

117
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: in that. Jonesy and Amanda's GA
