Sylvester Stallone Reveals ‘Sad’ Update About Friendship With Bruce Willis After Aphasia Diagnosis

  • last year
For decades two of the biggest names in action movies (perhaps only rivaled by the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger) were Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis. The two may have rivaled each other at the box office, but they were, in reality, close friends and, at one point, business partners. That was, of course, before the Willis family's heartbreaking announcement that the actor was retiring after being diagnosed with aphasia. In a recent career-spanning interview, Stallone gave a sad update about his friendship with Willis.

While speaking candidly to The Hollywood Reporter about his more than five-decade-spanning career, the subject soon turned to Stallone and Willis' relationship. When asked whether the two still keep in touch after The "Die Hard" star's life-changing diagnosis, Stallone revealed that they could no longer communicate due to Willis' struggle with the language disorder.
