Bruce Willis had an accident in “Tears of the Sun” that allegedly gave him aphasia

Earlier this year, Bruce Willis announced his permanent retirement from cinema, because the actor of some of the most important action films, such as ‘Die Hard’, had developed aphasia. Now, it has been revealed that all of his health problems may have been caused by an accident that occurred during the recording of the “Lágrimas del Sol” tape.

Several actors and actresses had noticed some memory problems in the ‘The Fifth Element’ actor, which had been plaguing him for several years. However, Bruce Willis’ aphasia may have been caused by an accident while filming ‘The tears of the sun’, a 2003 war film in which Willis played Lieutenant AK Walters.

Several unforeseen events that ended in tragedy have occurred in hundreds of film productions, the most recent that of Alec Baldwin. But it seems that the a accident during ‘The tears of the sun’ would have caused Bruce Willis problemsafter a gun bullet hit the actor’s head directly, during the filming of the film with Monica Belucci and directed by Antoine Fuqua.

Supposedly, the special effects weren’t well controlled during that day of recording, e Bruce Willis sued Revolution Studios, producer of ‘Lágrimas del Sol’, for the physical, mental and emotional complications left by the impact immediately after the accident. The special effects director was also sued by Willis.

Did Tears of the Sun Really Cause Bruce Willis Aphasia?

The ‘Tears of the Sun’ special effects supervisor recently defended himself against allegations that he caused Bruce Willis to become ill. And he said it was impossible for him to be the real cause of Willis’ aphasia, because the accident happened more than 20 years ago and the actor’s condition was just announced this year, 2022.

However, the New York Times states that there are people who suffer from aphasia, but develop the disease not suddenly, but over several years. Therefore, there is evidence that, following a stroke, the disease begins its development and produces complications in the speech of people affected by this condition.

While there is no evidence to blame the ‘Tears of the Sun’ incident as the trigger for Bruce Willis’ aphasia, there is currently nothing that can be done, as there is no cure for the disease. The best thing that can be done is a linguistic and communicative treatment, even if the actor’s family are concerned about the sudden and delicate health Willis is going through.
