Bruce Willis clearly had dementia several years ago. Either his family was in denial or they didn’t want to announce it. Today they did, and I suspect that’s because some tabloid was on the verge of exposing it.
Poor Bruce. The family allowed him to make dozens of terrible D movies and wrecked his legacy. A decade ago, Bruce was let go from a Woody Allen film because he couldn’t remember his lines. There was incident after incident after that. At least now they’re owning up to his condition which was obvious years ago.
Here’s the family’s statement:
Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis. In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). 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.
