I wanted to send some love to #BruceWillis. He’s the first celebrity I ever met. Back in the 90’s, touring with Second City at a show in Sun Valley,ID. Imagine our delight when we found out he was in the audience! He came backstage and couldn’t have been sweeter to us wannabes.❤️

Since Bruce Willis is trending let me share my one, very cool, Bruce Willis story.

It was 1997 and I was a DJ in Philly at a place called Palmer Social Club. This was a very hip and pretty wild after hours nightclub / lounge. It was a Sunday night which was usually pretty chill
My man Doug the barback told me it was Bruce Willis and his crew, who I guess were in town doing some sort of work or shoot. Bear in mind this was '97 Bruce Willis. The Fifth Element had come out and dude was already a mega star at this point. But I just kept on playing tunes...

Long before any of the Cop Out stuff, I was a big Bruce Willis fan - so this is really heartbreaking to read. He loved to act and sing and the loss of that has to be devastating for him. I feel like an asshole for my petty complaints from 2010. So sorry to BW and his family. https://t.co/npSgvkb5v7

I first heard of Bruce Willis’ condition last year from a director who worked with him, and I’ve felt bad for him ever since. I hope he and his family are okay. I’m glad he’s getting the help he needs. Thanks for all the iconic performances. pic.twitter.com/aN8gIPYrhb
