Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia
Back in 2022, Bruce Willis started making a lot of headlines after it was announced that the actor was diagnosed with aphasia. As a result, the actor had to retire from acting indefinitely because aphasia directly affects the communication abilities of a person.
In February 2023, Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Hemming Willis took to Instagram on behalf of her family and gave the fans of the actor an important update about his health. Since her last announcement, the actor’s condition has worsened further, and he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. She wrote,
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”
A few months later, Emma Hemming Willis appeared for an interview with TODAY and shed some more light on how the Pulp Fiction actor’s disease had affected her family a lot. She said,
“Dementia is hard. It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. And that is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is.”
Emma Hemming Willis further revealed that she is also unsure if Bruce Willis is aware of his disease and condition and said, “It’s hard to know.”
As Bruce Willis’ condition continues to worsen, a lot of his fans and his co-stars have voiced their support for the actor.
