Over the years, the actor has struggled to remember lines, and in his last project needed to use an earpiece to have lines read to him.

In March 2022, Rumor Willis, Bruce’s daughter, announced her father’s retirement. And one of the first people to offer their heartfelt support was his good friend John Travolta, who wrote a touching post about his relationship with the Die Hard actor.

“Bruce and I became good friends when we shared 2 of our biggest hits together, Pulp Fiction and Look Who’s Talking,” Travolta wrote in an Instagram post featuring set photos from the two films. “Years later he said to me, ‘John, I just want you to know that when something good happens to you I feel like it’s happening to me.’ That’s how generous a soul he is. I love you Bruce.”
