Bruce Willis Diagnosed With Frontotemporal Dementia, Family Says

Actor Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, his family said in a statement posted on social media Thursday.

“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,” read the statement shared by his ex-wife, Demi Moore.

Frontotemporal dementia is described by the Mayo Clinic as “an umbrella term for a group of brain disorders” that generally affect areas of the brain associated with personality, behavior and language.

Willis retired from acting in 2022 after his aphasia diagnosis.
