Hollywood's cruel treatment of Bruce Willis
Despite suffering from aphasia,
Bruce Willis
was still cast in
movies far longer than he probably should have been.
A new expose from the LA Times has claimed that producer
Randall Emmett
sought to milk the actor's name for his own personal gain.
The clearest example of the above came during filming for the 'Midnight in the Switchgrass' movie.
During one particular scene,
Emmett
struggled to get
Willis
to kick down a door,
even with the advice of a stuntman. The incident saw a frustrated
Emmett
walk off the set.
You would have to be blind to not see him struggling,"
Alicia Haverland
, a property manager on the film, said, as reported by the New York Post.
For his part,
Emmett
was fully aware of
Willis
' state, at least according to his ex-wife
Lala Kent
.
