Some new reactions to the news of his retirement came today, including some actors in his most memorable films.
All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis. I know that his wonderful family surrounds him with support and strength. He will always be this hero on that poster on my wall as a child.

I wanted to send some love to #BruceWillis. He is the first celebrity I have ever met. Back in the ’90s, touring with Second City at a show in Sun Valley, ID. Imagine our joy when we learned that he was in the audience! He came behind the scenes and could not be sweeter with us the unpredictable.

Long before any of the Cop Out issues, I was a big fan of Bruce Willis – so this is really heartbreaking to read. He loved to play and sing and losing him must be catastrophic for him. I’ve been feeling stupid about my petty complaints since 2010. So I’m sorry for BW and his family.

If you love movies, you love #BruceWillis. He has incorporated everything good into the word “fun” for decades. Congratulations to his beloved family who handled difficult news with dignity and grace.
I’m talking about people when I say, ‘We love you, Bruce.’

I first heard about Bruce Willis’s condition last year from a director who worked with him and I have felt bad for him ever since. I hope he and his family are well. I’m glad he gets the help he needs. Thanks for all the emblematic performances. pic.twitter.com/aN8gIPYrhb

Retirement has nothing to do with this myth. The work of Bruce Willis will forever remain in our favorite movies and TV shows. 🎥📺And for the story, he is right. Die Hard is not a Christmas movie, “it’s a Bruce Willis movie.”
Our thoughts go to Bruce and his family ❤️ # Split #Glass pic.twitter.com/lju1Ebu3ha

Legend.

So much love, light, prayer and strength to Bruce Willis, his wife, his children, @justdemi and their whole family at this time.
Believe me, there is hope and incredible genius in the Mayo Clinic and the NIH that work in neurology and study brains. Discoveries are really made every day

Producer Randall Emmett, who has worked with Willis on more than 20 films:
“Bruce and I have worked on more than 20 films together. He is an amazing actor and legendary action star, an incredible father and a close friend. I fully support Bruce and his family during this difficult time and I admire him for his courage in battling this incredibly difficult medical situation. “Bruce will always be a member of our family.”
