Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Iconic American action actor 67-year-old Bruce Willis is suffering from a disease associated with age-related brain changes - aphasia.
That poor man. At least they know what they’re dealing with now.
“Doctors diagnosed frontotemporal dementia. Today there is no cure for this disease. As Bruce's condition progresses, we hope that the media will shed light on this ailment, which requires much more public awareness and more research , ”relatives addressed the public.

The family, in a released statement, admitted that Bruce Willis has a speech impediment, but he is cheerful and even sometimes shoots videos for social networks.

As REGNUM reported , actor Sylvester Stallone admitted that due to health problems, his colleague Bruce Willis "is going through difficult times."

#15  It's a tough road. Dementia runs in the Mundi family on the female side. Old tales of the "crazy aunt upstairs" were not fairytales. Grandma Mundi, Mother Mundi succumbed. Thankfully we still had family in state to help out. Daughter and graddaughter Mundi could be next in line unless something comes along. Thoughts n prayers to all those who are dealing with this... a very hard road indeed.

#10  Yeah he quit a project some six months ago and this was the rumor.

Seemed a bit off in Cosmic Sin, and I can't think of the last time he took a true lead in a movie. This would explain why.

Great career, time for a rest.

#2  Not that particular type, but dementia took my dad too. Smart man, Phi Beta Kappa and AOA, he just stopped eating when some part of him decided it was bullshit.
