Actor Bruce Willis has faced a challenging health journey since his 2022 retirement from acting due to aphasia, a disorder affecting speech and comprehension. In 2023, his family revealed he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a rare neurodegenerative disease. FTD primarily impacts behavior, emotions, and language, though “memory may hold up better.” The condition, most common in people under 60, is progressive and incurable. Willis, beloved for roles in Die Hard and The Fifth Element, continues to be supported by his family during this difficult time.
