It looks like Bruce Willis can add harmonica-player extraordinaire to his long list of accomplishments.
The actor, 67, unveiled his impressive musical talent in an Instagram video shared on Monday, which showed his “impromptu jam session” with musician and pal Derek Richard Thomas.
The “Die Hard” star, whose family announced his aphasia diagnosis earlier this year, appeared to be in high spirits as he played the harmonica while Thomas rocked out on the guitar and provided vocals.
“Their talent is speaking for itself. I’ll just leave this here,” the actor’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, captioned the Instagram post alongside the hashtag, “jamsession.”
Though most know Willis for his glittering career on the silver screen — with his having starred in films like “Pulp Fiction,” “Die Hard,” “Looper” and “Moonrise Kingdom” — true fans will know he’s also an accomplished singer who has released three albums.
In fact, the father of five’s first album, “The Return of Bruno,” was released in 1987, and featured collaborations with none other than the Temptations and the Pointer Sisters.
Emma Heming Willis couldn’t help but gush over her husband’s musical talent.Instagram/@emmahemingwillisWillis went on to release his second studio album “If It Don’t Kill You, It Just Makes You Stronger” in 1989.
His third album, titled “Classic Bruce Willis,” came out in 1999.
The actor has been keeping in good spirits after his wife Heming, along with her husband’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, and their kids, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, released a joint statement in March revealing Willis was retiring due to his health struggles.
Aphasia is a condition that can affect a person’s ability to speak, write and understand language, with treatment including speech and language therapies, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” they continued. “As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”
