Bruce Willis Receives NEW DIAGNOSIS: Aphasia Was Just a Symptom of Another Illness

It was at the end of March 2022 when the family of Bruce Willis announced that the actor had retired from cinema. As they explained in a statement at the time, he suffered from aphasia, a language disorder that affects the ability to communicate.

Almost a year after that first news, a new diagnosis has arrived on the health of the Hollywood legend.

Bruce Willis suffers from frontotemporal dementia: aphasia was just a symptom of the disease

In December there were reports that the actor’s health had deteriorated and that his family were praying for “a Christmas miracle” to make him better. However, this did not arrive.

On February 16th, Demi Moore, Emma Heming Willis and Bruce Willis’ 5 daughters reunited to give news on the health status of the patriarch of his family. In their statement they state:

“Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a clearer diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).

They explained that aphasia was just one of the symptoms of this condition and “although it’s painful, it’s a relief to have a clear diagnosis.”
