Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
last March, his family said that the reason for his early retirement was that he had been “experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities.” Today, his family released a statement about Willis’ health, and unfortunately it is not a positive one.
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022,” it reads, “Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia . 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.
Per the Willis family’s statement, “FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know.” They also note that as of today, “there are no treatments for the disease.” Willis is one of the biggest movie and TV stars of his generation, known for playing John McClane in the The Sixth Sense
