Bruce Willis is and will always be a Hollywood legend because with his films he won our hearts. However, for a year his health has been slowly deteriorating after he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. This condition has worsened over time to the point that it was revealed that the actor no longer recognizes Demi Moore, who was his wife for 13 years and they have three beautiful daughters together.
According to Closer Weekly, a source close to the family revealed that Willis’ memory has been fading in what would seem to be an irremediable process. Demi would have discovered that Bruce’s health had become worse after she returned from a trip to Italy and she went to the actor’s house to greet him without knowing that she would meet a man who could no longer recognize her.
The news greatly affected Moore, who is devastated by the harsh way in which the disease has ended the memory of the man who was the love of her life. The same source noted that the actor can still recognize his daughters and his current wife, Emma Heming. However, he also indicated that Willis can sometimes behave aggressively and suffer a physical slowdown.
Bruce Willis can no longer communicate verbally
Frontotemporal dementia has affected not only Bruce Willis’ ability to remember people, but it has also wreaked havoc on the way he communicates with the world. According to Glen Gordon, a close friend of the actor, Willis has had a drastic decrease in speech and even has trouble reading. Gordon commented that the protagonist of ‘Die Hard’ can no longer hold conversations with people, so his language skills have diminished dramatically.
