BruceWillis seen out and about in Santa Monica for the first time since dementia diagnosis announcement
On Feb. 16, his family, including wife Emma Heming, ex-wife Demi Moore and his five daughters released a statement revealing his dementia diagnosis.
“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 said. “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.
They added, “Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research.” Willis officially retired from acting last spring, after his family announced his diagnosis at the time with aphasia.
