After suffering from depression and alcohol dependence, he also suffered from anorexia for four years. He knew that his father’s condition was deteriorating in recent years, but he himself was not healthy enough to cope with such a situation, so he was consistent with avoidance and denial. I blamed myself.
However, he said that he is comforted by the fact that he is trying to take care of his father even in the midst of his grief. It is a very special time for his family and he is glad that he is with them.
He said that his father still recognizes him and greets him with a bright expression.
Earlier, Bruce Willis’ family announced in February that he had been diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD).
Willis retired from the Hollywood film industry in March of last year due to cognitive decline due to aphasia, and was diagnosed with dementia almost a year later.
FTD is known to affect the patient’s behavior and personality and cause language impairment.
Willis, who made his name known as a world-class action star through John McTiernan’s Die Hard, won a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy Award, and was named on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006.
