Hollywood star Bruce Willis, who will be retiring from acting post his aphasia diagnosis, has been receiving a whole lot of love from his fans and co-stars. Bruce Willis' character might have killed John Travolta's hitman in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction but IRL, he always believed in John. Sharing throwback pictures with Bruce Willis, John Travolta write in his Instagram post: "Bruce and I became good friends when we shared 2 of our biggest hits together, Pulp Fiction and Look Who's Talking. Years later he said to me, "John, I just want you to know that when something good happens to you, I feel like it's happening to me." That's how generous a soul he is. I love you Bruce."
This is what John Travolta posted:
John Travolta and Bruce Willis played two of Pulp Fiction's three protagonists - Vincent Vega and Butch Coolidge - with Samuel L Jackson as the third, Jules Winnfield. The film revitalized John Travolta's failing career and brought the Bruce Willis critical acclaim that his previous hit films, like Die Hard, had not. In Look Who's Talking and its sequel Look Who's Talking Too, Bruce Willis voices Baby Mikey.
At this year's Oscars, Bruce Wills was missed big time at the mini Pulp Fiction reunion on stage, attended by Uma Thurman, Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta. The trio joked about the 5$ milkshake, Uma-John did the famous dance routine and the three stars announced Will Smith's controversial Best Actor win.
