Bruce Willis has become like a baby, although he looks like a grown man".
The actor suffering from dementia does not understand the severity of his condition.
At first they said he had aphasia - but it's not a disease, but a symptom that can manifest itself in different ways: some patients lose the ability to understand speech, others lose the ability to articulate long sentences coherently, etc. In 2023, the final diagnosis was made, more like a sentence: frontotemporal dementia.
"Sometimes he looks like a baby looking curiously at some object, as if examining it. But if you just look at him, he looks like a healthy middle-aged man (in fact, Willis is 71. - Ed.) Bruce understands that his life has changed, but he doesn't think the changes are that significant," the "Daily Mail" quotes Willis' source as saying.
The actor's wife Emma Hemming (Demi Moore is his ex, with whom the whole family maintains a warm relationship) was amazed by how many people asked her the question: "Does Bruce still recognize you? does he remember you "My answer is absolutely yes. ".
