Bruce Willis Diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia, Family Says

Actor Bruce Willis, known for his iconic roles in movies like the "Die Hard" franchise and "Pulp Fiction," has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, according to a statement released by his family on The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website on Thursday. This comes nearly a year after the star retired from acting due to aphasia, which had been hampering his cognitive abilities. According to the statement, Willis' condition has progressed since his diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, and the family now has a more specific diagnosis of FTD. The disease is characterized by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain's frontal lobes or its temporal lobes, and challenges with communication are just one of the many symptoms that come with the disease. "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," the family said in the statement, which was accompanied by a photo of Willis at the beach. The family also stated that there are currently no treatments for the disease, and they hope that Willis' diagnosis at the age of 67 will bring more attention and awareness to battling FTD. Many in the entertainment industry have expressed their support for Willis and his family. Willis' oldest daughter, actor Rumer Willis, posted the announcement on Instagram, receiving messages of support from fellow actors and celebrities. “Love you so much my friend. Sending hugs to you and that beautiful family of yours. Your pops is such a damn legend,” "Breaking Bad" star Aaron Paul wrote. Journalist Maria Shriver also expressed her gratitude for the family's willingness to shine a light on the disease, saying "When people step forward it helps all of us."
