Bruce Willis is one of Hollywood’s most loved and iconic stars. However, his illness forced him to retire from acting in 2022. His family announced that he was struggling with serious health issues. Known for roles in Die Hard, The Sixth Sense, and Pulp Fiction, Willis` career was filled with memorable characters, action-packed films, and sharp, witty performances. A year later, in 2023, his family revealed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a progressive brain disease. According to recent updates, the actor`s condition has further deteriorated. 

Bruce Willis health update

Some recent reports claim that Bruce Willis can now no longer speak, read, or walk because of the rapid progression of his dementia. As revealed by his family earlier, frontotemporal dementia, sometimes called FTD, is known to affect the brain areas that manage language, movement, and behaviour. As a result, the 70-year-old actor has gradually lost the ability to communicate and even recognise written words.

It must be noted that his family has not yet confirmed the reports of him being unable to read, speak and walk. If it is true, the changes are heartbreaking for his loved ones. Reports suggest that the actor who was once quick with jokes and always on the move is now in a state where he needs constant care. He can no longer hold conversations, enjoy reading, or move independently.
