Willis’s wife, Emma Heming, ex-wife Demi Moore, and his five daughters are doing everything they can to help the actor. However, they’re not alone in their fight. According to a report by RadarOnline, Willis’s actor friends are also trying their best to help the Golden Globe winner. By the same token, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Statham, and Willis have all started together in the Expendables franchise. While Statham is much younger than either of his co-stars, Sly, Arnie, and Willis have a long history of sharing box-office success.
The publication claimed an insider spoke to them about how Hollywood A-listers are helping Willis. “It’s a huge comfort for Bruce and his loved ones that he’d got so much goodwill and love to count on,” said the insider. “The guy (Bruce Willis) is a hero among his Hollywood peers,” he added.
While many stars have offered their help, a few stand out. “Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, of course, and Jason Statham and so many others are right there at the front of the line offering to do anything they can, 24/7,” the source told RadarOnline. However, not just Hollywood A-listers, but Schwarzenegger’s ex-wife Maria Shriver also penned a heartfelt note to Willis and his family.
