Bruce Willis is retiring from acting due to a condition that leads to speech difficulties, his daughter Rumer Willis revealed in two Instagram accounts.
The “Die Hard” star has been diagnosed with aphasia, which is a loss or impairment of the ability to reproduce language or understand a foreign language.
“To the incredible supporters of Bruce, as a family, we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce is experiencing some health problems and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which affects his cognitive abilities. As a result, Bruce withdrew from a career that meant so much much for him.
This is a truly challenging time for our family and we are so grateful for your continued love, compassion and support. We are going through this as a strong family unit and we wanted to make it available to his fans because we know how much he means to you and you to him.
As Bruce always says, “Hit him to life,” and together we plan to do just that.
With love: Emma, Demi, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn “, wrote the family of the 67-year-old star of” Die Hard “.
In recent years, Blues Willis has starred mostly in low-budget projects. His selection of titles, which he adds to his filmography, has made his fans worry about his career, wondering what is happening to him. About a year ago, the press overseas decided to answer this question, saying that the reason for this is the problem of the Hollywood celebrity with memorizing the lines from the scripts.
At the time, however, no one paid attention to the allegation, condemning it as another speculation about him.
However, it turned out that one of the biggest Hollywood stars is actually struggling with a serious illness. This was revealed weeks ago by director Matt Escandari, who worked with the iconic action hero in “Hard Kill”, “Survive the Night” and “Trauma Center”. He joined the comments under a video on the popular YouTube channel “Half in the Bag”, whose main topic was the fall of the winner of two Emmys and one “Golden Globe” in the entertainment industry. Responding to another user of the site, explaining that he came across material according to which Willis loses his memory and is disoriented most of the time, the director directly said that he suffers from dementia. “That’s right. I’ve directed a total of four films with him, so I know first hand. It’s sad to see a legend like Bruce collapsing right in front of your eyes. I saw him working with him for the last few years,” he said. later deleted what was written.
Today, alas, it was officially confirmed by the Willis family.
