“It was difficult,” he said at the time, claiming Willis “wouldn’t even sit for a f–king poster shoot.” 
 
Smith added, “Were it not for Tracy, I might have killed either myself or someone else in the making of f–king Cop Out.”
 
On March 30, Willis’ family—wife Emma Heming Willis, their kids Mabel Willis, 9, and Evelyn Willis, 7, ex Demi Moore and their children Rumer Willis, 33, Scout Willis, 30, Tallulah Willis, 28—released a joint statement on their respective Instagram accounts announcing that the actor would be stepping away from his career because the condition is impacting his cognitive abilities.
