Bruce Willis’ Family Confirms the ‘Die Hard’ Star’s Dementia Diagnosis

Bruce Willis’s family have confirmed that the actor has been diagnosed with ‘painful’ frontotemporal dementia.

The iconic movie star, 67, had previously been diagnosed with aphasia, a condition affecting his cognitive abilities, but following further testing, it was determined that his diagnosis was more specifically frontotemporal dementia.

His daughter Rumer said: “While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis”.

The family did emphasize that communication difficulties are only one symptom of the disease Willis faces.
