princess 1,710 Report post Posted March 30, 2022 Bruce Willis diagnosed with aphasia, stepping away from acting https://pagesix.com/2022/03/30/bruce-willis-diagnosed-with-aphasia-stepping-away-from-acting/ ...“As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that,” the statement concluded, and signed it from his wife Emma, his ex-wife Demi Moore and all of his children. Aphasia is a medical condition that can affect a person’s ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written, according to the Mayo Clinic. It typically occurs after a stroke or a head injury. Willis, 67, has multiple projects completed as well in post-production, including “Vendetta,” “Fortress: Sniper’s Eye” and “White Elephant.” It’s unclear what will happen with “Fortress 3,” which is currently in pre-production. Yikes, it must be pretty bad for him to officially step away and make a public announcement. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I’m wondering if there is a lot more going on with Bruce. Anyone else see anything like that? I can’t find the article because it didn’t make sense at the time I read it since I hadn’t seen the Razzies thing and now I can’t find it again. You called it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dixiedoodah 1,003 Report post Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) This article is devastating. Were they (family/friends) flat out exploiting him for their own benefit, or were they trying to assure his financial and medical stability. I remember the photos and stories that came out during pandemic about him staying with Demi and the kids. This is just such a sad story.https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2022-03-30/bruce-willis-aphasia-memory-loss-cognitive-disorder Edited March 31, 2022 by dixiedoodah 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted March 31, 2022 Most of the takes I've read are that he was working as fast as he could on whatever he could while he was able - to secure his family's financial future. Honestly can't blame him for that - and the fact that his entire family includes his ex (whom he spent quite a bit of quarantine with, without the current wife) and they are all supporting him. It's weird to me but they seem to have worked it out somehow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baby Doll 77 Report post Posted March 31, 2022 Yes, I feel like he wanted to work as much as he could to support his family - until he couldn't. I certainly hope he wasn't being exploited. It looks like they're a super close clan. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoyaheel 1,874 Report post Posted December 15, 2022 I saw those somewhere yesterday - looks great! Maybe Lainey - the quote intro for the photos was "he's not being coerced to work anymore" so I guess that's confirmation of that blind. Well, we all knew as soon as he came out with his diagnosis..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
