In a touching homage, Bruce Willis remembers the late Michael Clarke Duncan—a

colossus in stature and talent, whose gentle soul touched everyone he met.

Duncan, who began his journey in Chicago, broke past his working-class roots

through various odd jobs, eventually landing in Hollywood as a bodyguard and, fatefully, into acting.

His breakthrough came as Bear in “Armageddon,” where he met Willis, forming a deep friendship.

But it was his role as John Coffey in “The Green Mile” that showcased his emotional range, earning him an Oscar nod and solidifying his Hollywood standing.

Off-screen, Michael Clarke Duncan was remembered as a beacon of kindness and generosity, someone who uplifted others with his presence.

Bruce Willis, delivering a heartfelt eulogy, described Duncan as a “gentle giant” whose legacy endures far beyond his untimely passing.

Their friendship, built on trust and mutual respect, became one of Hollywood’s most enduring bonds, transcending the screen and touching countless fans.
