Bruce Willis reportedly misfired a loaded gun on set and asked directors “what am I doing here?” during his heartbreaking aphasia battle.

No one was injured. in the alleged incident, which the film’s producer disputed had occurred, but the alleged discharge left actors and crew members shaken, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Bruce Willis, 67, has been diagnosed with a brain condition called aphasia and will be stepping away from acting, his family announced on Wednesday.

In a statement posted on Instagram, his family said: “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.”

“As a result of this, and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”

Bruce also reportedly did not know what he was doing on the set of the upcoming film White Elephant, which was filmed in April.

Two crew members recalled the star asking: “I know why you’re here, and I know why you’re here, but why am I here?”

The film’s director Jesse V. Johnson explained Bruce’s team told him that “it would be best if we could finish shooting him by lunch and let him go early.”
