Bruce Willis May Not Remember His Acting Days, Struggling With Speech Due To Dementia
@Source: news18.com
Hollywood star Bruce Willis, known for his iconic roles in films like Die Hard and The Sixth Sense, is reportedly facing a serious decline in his health. According to a new report by The Express, the 70-year-old actor is now non-verbal and unable to walk as his dementia worsens.
Willis was first diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, a condition that affects speech. Later, his family confirmed that he had frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a rare brain disorder that impacts behaviour, speech, and movement.
In April 2025, his family shared that Bruce was “stable,” but this latest update suggests things have changed. The report says, “He is said to have become largely non-verbal and is reportedly experiencing motor difficulties, though no specific details about his mobility have been confirmed by his family in recent months.”
There are also reports that he may not remember some of the roles that made him a household name in the 1990s and 2000s.
Willis was initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, which later advanced to FTD, a rare form of dementia affecting areas of the brain responsible for language, behaviour, and movement. The actor’s condition has continued to evolve, though his family stated in April 2025 that his health remains “stable.” Sources close to the actor report that he has become mostly non-verbal and is unable to engage in reading or written communication. While no official statement has confirmed new mobility issues, reports suggest that Bruce now struggles with basic motor functions.
Willis rose to fame with the TV show Moonlighting and became a global superstar with the Die Hard movies. Over his long career, he starred in major hits like Pulp Fiction, Armageddon, Unbreakable, The Fifth Element, and Looper. He was known not only for his action roles but also for his charm and humour on screen.
Even though he has stepped away from the spotlight, fans and fellow actors continue to show love and support for him. Many remember him as a legend with an unforgettable presence in Hollywood.
