Bruce Willis’ dementia and more: the most terrible diagnoses of Hollywood stars

Stars also have chronic illnesses.

The actor retired last year after being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects communication skills. And here is another success. The Willis family announced that the ‘hard nut’ suffered from frontotemporal dementia, which doctors say she only lives 5-7 years with. There is no cure for this.

The actor admitted he had HIV in 2015. Shin said he went public with his illness so he wouldn’t be blackmailed and extorted again.

In 2013, the actor was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. Since then, the disease periodically reminisces, and Jackman again undergoes a biopsy. He tells subscribers about the results, urging them to monitor their health and use sunscreen.

The popular singer suffers from a chronic disease that causes severe pain in the muscles, ligaments and tendons. Lady Gaga opened up about her diagnosis in 2017.

Associated problems include difficulty concentrating and problems sleeping. It is impossible to get rid of the disease, but therapy can alleviate the symptoms, although once the singer had to postpone a concert, because she was hospitalized with severe pain.

In 2015, the singer revealed that she had been diagnosed with lupus, an inflammatory disease that causes skin rashes, wasting and joint discomfort. Despite treatment, her lupus symptoms progressed and in 2017 Selena needed a kidney transplant.

The Back to the Future actor revealed he had Parkinson’s disease, which affects nerve cells in the brain and affects muscle function and speech, in 1998. Fox kept the diagnosis a secret for seven years – his actor was given in 1991, when he was only 30 years old. Due to his deteriorating condition, Michael ceased acting, but devoted his life to finding a cure for the disease. To date, his foundation has funded over $800 million in medical research.

The actress shared her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, a disease that affects the brain and central nervous system, in October 2018. Blair admitted she had noticed symptoms for a long time, but attributed them to a pinched nerve. Because of her illness, Selma walks with a cane. In 2019, the actress admitted that she also suffered from spastic dysphonia, which damaged her voice.

The actress has lived with type 2 diabetes since the age of 22, and few people know it! The thing is, Holly has learned to live in such a way that illness doesn’t become her grief.

“I regained better health when I learned how to manage my diabetes. It took me going through a few scary things to accept that I should change my lifestyle, and not just go on diets that you can quit in six months,” Holly said.

When the actress was still married to Antonio Banderas, she began having epileptic seizures with convulsions. What was Melanie’s shock when, after the examination, she heard a terrible diagnosis – epilepsy. Griffith later said the stress led to illness. But even more surprising was her healing story – after a divorce from a Spanish macho, Melanie had no more seizures.

Ariana Grande revealed at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards that she has PTSD. The disease is manifested by a severe mental state that occurs as a result of severe stress. Ariana developed it after a terrorist attack at her concert in Manchester in 2017 that killed 22 people. In 2019, the singer even published MRI images of her brain to tell the evolution of the disease.
