Since 2022, actor Bruce Willis has faced a deeply challenging health journey, marked by a difficult diagnosis and the gradual progression of a neurodegenerative disease. In March 2022, the beloved actor’s family publicly announced that he would be stepping away from his iconic acting career because of health issues.
At that time, the family shared that Willis had been diagnosed with **aphasia**, a language disorder that impairs a person’s ability to speak, write, and comprehend speech. This announcement of Willis sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, as he had been a fixture in Hollywood for decades, best known for his roles in films like *D:ie Hard* and *The Fifth Element*.
Bruce Willis is now living with the long-term implications of FTD. His wife Emma, along with his ex-wife **Demi Moore** and their children, have remained steadfastly by his side, providing him with support and love as he navigates this difficult journey.
Despite his health challenges, Willis, who became a global superstar through action films like *Die Hard*, *Pulp Fiction*, and *The Sixth Sense*, has continued to be a source of inspiration for fans and fellow actors alike, with many praising his resilience and the strength of his family. As the disease progresses, his family has committed to raising awareness about FTD, a condition that is often under-recognized and misunderstood.
