Veteran Hollywood action movie star Bruce Willis was in February 2022 diagnosed with chronic mental disorder that took a toll on his health.
In February last year, it was publicly revealed that Bruce Willis was suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Frontotemporal dementia is an uncommon type of dementia that causes problems with behaviour and language. Dementia is a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia. [sic]
Bruce Willis was forced to retire from acting in March 2022 as a result of the mental disorder.
After retiring, the 68-year-old ‘Die Hard’ star has been getting worse as the days go by. Sources close to the actor say that the disease is getting more complicated and that it is very difficult for him to hold a normal conversation.
Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming has been giving fans an update on the actor’s health status by sharing some stories on his Instagram account.
The first thing she did was to thank all the actor’s fans, who keep sending him messages of support and encouragement. Emma called them “so loving and caring”.
The actor’s wife also wanted to make it clear that she feels very “lucky” to be part of this supportive community, which supports Bruce during his struggle with frontotemporal dementia.
Despite this, the actress also had to acknowledge that her husband’s illness is getting worse and getting more complicated.
“When you live in the world of dementia you know that options are slim. But some won’t take that lying down, which is how change is made, and I got to witness the beauty in that last night,” she said.
