Famous actor Bruce Willis, who stopped acting due to Aphasia in May last year, has now been found to have frontotemporal dementia, according to a statement released by his family on Thursday.
The family of the Die Hard actor has shared a statement announcing that his condition of Aphasia has now developed into a diagnosis of Dementia.
"Language and memory issues led to rumors about Bruce's cognitive state, prompting his retirement in May 2022. Sadly, this is just one symptom of his disease."
Willis, famous for Die-Hard, Pulp Fiction, and more, was a 80s/90s superstar. From The Sixth Sense to Moonrise Kingdom, he left his mark on cinema.
The 67-year-old was also the lead in several family comedies, most notably voicing a baby on "Look Who’s Talking" and its sequel.
In a statement, his family said:
“Bruce always believed in using his voice in the world to help others and to raise awareness about important issues...
...both publicly and privately. We know in our hearts that – if he could today- he would want to respond by bringing global attention and a connectedness...
...with those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and how it impacts so many individuals and their families. “
