Sylvester Stallone is missing his good friend and fellow actor Bruce Willis, giving a new update amid his aphasia diagnosis and his retirement from the film industry. Stallone, who recently revealed one of his deepest regrets when it comes to his Hollywood career, says that he has not been able to communicate with Willis.

He continued, “We go back a long way, praying for the best for you and your wonderful family.” The pair met during the early years of their careers, and they even worked together in the 2010 franchise ‘The Expendables,’ which even caused a feud between the two actors. However, Stallone and Willis would go on to make amends and become close friends.

“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” she concluded. “As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”
