Scots Hollywood star Gianni Capaldi has backed Bruce Willis in his dementia battle. The actor, who became close friends with the star during filming of blockbuster A Day to Die, has said the star’s fun-loving personality and devoted family mean he will cope.
Gianni, 47, who converted Bruce into a Celtic fan, said: “You get the good guys and the bad guys and Bruce is one of the good guys. Bruce is a gentleman. My one abiding memory of Bruce was having a mock fight in our hotel bar using the seat cushions. It was all in fun and a great laugh. He was such a lovely guy and we really hit it off.
“Bruce and I talked a fair bit. We spoke about Scotland because he really loves his golf and that was when I gave him the Celtic cap. He went golfing that day and wore it all day. “He was such a cheerful and happy spirit. He loved to laugh, he loved to make people laugh.”
