Bruce Willis forgot he was filming a movie due to illness

In March 2022, Bruce Willis’ family announced that he was ending his career as he developed aphasia. Later, the actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Insider, citing props specialist Alicia Haverland, spoke about the production of one of the latest films featuring an action star. According to her, Willis simply forgot that he was on the set.

The incident occurred on the set of the thriller “Midnight in the Cereal Field” in 2020. In the tape, Willis played a major role. Bruce’s memory failed him while filming the diner scene. He decided that he had actually come to the cafe for lunch. In the frame, the actor was supposed to have a full mug of coffee, and Haverland refilled his drink before each new take. When Alicia approached the actor with coffee before the seventh or eighth take, the actor did not let her pour the drink into his mug and said:

Oh no, ma’am, I don’t want any more.

The prop technician tried to explain to him that she was doing it to shoot a scene. However, Willis did not understand her and clarified whether he ordered more coffee. According to Haverland, the sight was “heartbreaking.” She decided to pretend to be a waitress to finish filming the scene. Then the woman convinced Willis that he really asked to add coffee to him.

Recall that a few weeks ago, Bruce Willis became a grandfather. His 34-year-old daughter Rumer Willis, who was born married to Demi Moore, gave birth to their first child. The girl was named Luetta Eisley. Later, on the occasion of Mother’s Day, the newly-made grandmother shared fresh photos with her granddaughter and daughter.
