In a somber update about the health of Bruce Willis, it was revealed that he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in February 2023 following an earlier diagnosis of aphasia in 2022.
Dealing with these health issues has been an emotional journey for Willis and his loved ones. While his family affirms that he is still fundamentally himself, the impact of aphasia has significantly affected his ability to communicate.
Challenges with Speech
His condition has worsened over time, leaving him unable to speak due to the effects of aphasia, a condition that disrupts communication as a result of brain damage to the language centers.
Combined with dementia, Willis faces an ongoing struggle. Fortunately, he is surrounded by a caring family who provide constant support. Their presence and love are crucial in aiding him in this enduring battle.
At 69 years old, Willis celebrated his birthday in March. He finds strength and comfort in his wife, Emma Heming, and their two daughters.
