Why is Bruce Willis stepping away from acting? It was last year when it was made public that Bruce Willis has aphasia and that he will no longer be making movies.

People wondered about or even mocked the many ‘forgettable movies’ that Bruce has been appearing in for years. In 2021 alone, he had eight movies.

And when people don’t know the real reason, people speculate and become mean, like when the Razzies awarded Bruce with one of their awards for best performance in a movie.

Now the family has made it public that Bruce Willis has frontotemporal dementia.

Many of us know Bruce Willis as the tough, charismatic action hero from movies such as Die Hard and Armageddon. However, recently there has been news about his diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a rare form of dementia that affects personality, behavior, and language.

As a compassionate family member, it’s important to understand what FTD is and how it can impact individuals and their loved ones.
