The world of cinema was surprised by the announcement from the close environment of Bruce Willis that communicated the actor’s decision to end his career due to a health problem. According to Rumer Willis, his father was diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disease that affects the ability to speak, write, and understand verbal and written language.
“To the incredible fans of Bruce, as a family, we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which is affecting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is walking away from the career that has meant so much to him,” wrote one of the actor’s daughters.
