Sylvester Stallone (76) spoke about the current state of health of his friend and fellow actor Bruce Willis (67). The "Die Hard" star announced the end of his career more than six months ago after being diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder. "Bruce is going through a really, really difficult time," Stallone said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Accordingly, Willis is in a kind of isolation, "so somehow without contact with the outside world," continued the "Rocky" star. "It's killing me. It's so sad," Stallone said.

Among other things, Stallone and Willis were in front of the camera together for the action film series "The Expendables" (2010 and 2012). After Willis' illness became public in March 2022, Stallone spoke up on Instagram a little later. For a series of pictures of the two friends, he wrote: "We have come a long way. I pray for the best for you and your wonderful family."
