A friend and former co-worker of Bruce Willis has spoken out about the actor's declining health as he continues to battle frontotemporal dementia, with it revealed he can barely speak
Bruce Willis has lost 'language skills' as he lives with dementia, according to a friend. The 68-year-old Hollywood star is facing a cruel dementia decline since he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia earlier this year.
Glenn Gordon Caron, who created Moonlighting, the sitcom that helped Bruce become world famous, said the iconic star is "not totally verbal" any longer, reports MirrorOnline.Speaking to Page Six, Glenn revealed: "My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am. He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader - he didn’t want anyone to know that - and he’s not reading now.
In March 2022, Bruce's family said of his then-diagnosed aphasia: "To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.
"Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia ," the statement read, it then continued: "Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis."
