Since being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that impairs communication abilities, actor Bruce Willis has retreated from the spotlight. His family has openly shared updates about his health, revealing that his condition has progressed to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). They’ve also kept fans informed about his ongoing journey.
“We want to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming love, support, and wonderful stories we’ve received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis wrote on social media.
“In that spirit, we’d like to provide an update on our beloved husband, father, and friend, as we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.
“Since announcing Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis in spring 2022, his condition has progressed, and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD),” she continued.
