Haley Joel Osment stills remembers working with Bruce Willis as a child actor on the M. Night Shyamalan movie The Sixth Sense (1999).
“I heard from [Bruce] a lot after it came out in those subsequent years,” Osment shared with Entertainment Weekly.
“He’d leave voicemails at the house from time to time, just checking in. He would just call out of the blue, so sometimes it was in the lead up before travel. We went to Japan together twice, if I remember correctly, to open Sixth Sense in different cities.”
The actor further shared, “So he would call ahead of that, and then sometimes I would just come home from school and the answering machine would be blinking and it’d be him going like, ‘Hey, Haley Joel. Just saying hi.’”
However, Osment shared not being in touch with the superstar for some time now, especially since his dementia diagnosis.
“I need to find those old answering tapes. I know we preserved those. I know his daughters a little bit, but I have not spoken to him since the news of his health in recent years,” added the Oscar nominee.
