Bruce Willis and his family announced the actor has been battling health issues in 2022, with them initially telling fans he had language disorder aphasia, before it progressed to dementia
Bruce Willis’ dementia prognosis was revealed earlier this year, with an expert later confirming that there are “no treatment options” left for the Hollywood icon.
The Die Hard star’s family announced news of the 68-year-old actor’s health battle last year. They said he was suffering from language disorder aphasia before they had the heartbreaking news that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.
In the original announcement, which was made in March 2022, his family said: “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
And then back in February of this year, Bruce’s family revealed an updated diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). At the time, the actor’s wife Emma Heming Willis; Demi Moore; and his five daughters, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn, shared a detailed statement with the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration.
