Despite his battle with dementia, Bruce Willis is not “totally verbal.”
Prior to disclosing his dementia diagnosis in February, Willis’ family revealed that the actor had been given an aphasia diagnosis the previous year.
Her family’s statement read, “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,” his family wrote in a statement on the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration’s website.
According to “Moonlighting” writer Glenn Gordon Caron, who told the New York Post that the actor is “not totally verbal” despite his struggle with frontotemporal dementia.
The 68-year-old actor’s friend Caron revealed that while Willis still recognizes him when he visits, he has seen some differences. He said, “My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am,” he said. “Willis used to be a voracious reader, he didn’t want anyone to know that -and he’s not reading now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he’s still Bruce.”
American actor Bruce Willis is currently retired. He rose to stardom after landing the lead in the comedy-drama series Moonlighting. He has since acted in more than a hundred movies, and his depiction of John McClane in the Die-Hard series helped him establish himself as an action star.
For over thirteen years, Willis and actress Demi Moore were married, and they share custody of their three daughters.
