Since 2022, Bruce Willis has faced a challenging health journey, retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder. In early 2023, his family revealed that he was also diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a rare, progressive disease that affects communication and emotions.
His wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared the emotional difficulty of recognizing the disease’s subtle onset, noting how FTD’s progression can be hard to pinpoint. Despite the diagnosis, Bruce’s iconic Hollywood legacy remains, with his family—Emma, ex-wife Demi Moore, and their children—standing by him.
Together, they advocate for awareness of FTD and aphasia, shedding light on these conditions and inspiring others with Bruce’s resilience and the support of his loved ones.
