Overview
- Affleck says he had food poisoning during a key day on Armageddon and was vomiting between takes during an emotional scene.
- He explains he felt unable to call in sick at that stage of his career, so he reported to set despite being ill.
- The recollection comes from a new local TV interview and aligns with past comments from director Michael Bay about Affleck being very sick as cameras kept rolling.
- Affleck praised Bruce Willis as gracious on set, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer recalled Willis contributing money to weekly crew giveaways.
- Coverage situates the reminiscence alongside prior family statements that Willis stepped away from acting in 2022 due to aphasia and was later disclosed to have frontotemporal dementia.
