Bruce Willis is “No Longer Able” to Communicate Verbally

After the poignant disclosure from Bruce Willis’ family earlier this year about the actor’s diagnosis of aphasia, a confidant of the actor has disclosed that Bruce is now experiencing a decline in his ’language skills.’ His battle with dementia led to his decision to step away from acting, and as per the latest update, he is reported to be ’no longer verbal.’

Bruce Willis is currently experiencing challenges with verbal communication and is described as ’not totally verbal.’

In March 2023, the family of Bruce Willis made a public announcement, revealing that the actor’s previously known brain condition, aphasia, had advanced to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of the renowned 1980s sitcom Moonlighting

starring Willis, recently shared observations from a visit with the actor. Caron revealed that during their interaction, Willis faced difficulties expressing himself verbally, displaying a noticeable departure from his previously articulate self. Once a devoted reader who quietly took pleasure in this hobby, Willis now grapples with the inability to partake in the literary pursuits that once brought him joy

Despite the challenges posed by his cognitive decline, those close to Willis emphasize the enduring essence of his personality. Caron observed that within the initial minutes of their encounter, Willis recognized familiar faces, indicating a lingering connection to his past. However, the profound impact of the disease is evident, with Caron noting the absence of Bruce’s once vibrant ’joie de vivre,’ or joy of life. “He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now.”

Bruce Willis’ family and friends continue to offer unwavering support throughout this difficult journey. Caron expressed the mind-blowing nature of witnessing the transformation in someone known for their exuberance. Willis, who previously approached each day with enthusiasm, now navigates life as if “seeing through a screen door,” a poignant metaphor for the altered perspective brought about by his condition.
