Bruce Willis, the legendary action movie star, has announced his retirement from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia. Willis’ ex-wife Demi Moore declared his retirement from acting on Instagram, and the announcement was signed by his wife and children.
“As a family, we wanted to communicate with Bruce’s incredible fans that our darling Bruce has been facing some health concerns and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is affecting his cognitive abilities,” Moore said. “As a result of this, and after considerable thought, Bruce has decided to leave a career that has meant so much to him.”
““This is such a difficult time for our family, and we are so grateful for your continuing love, compassion, and support,” the message reads. “We’re going through this as a strong family unit, and we wanted to invite his followers in because we know how much he means to you as well as he does to us.” ‘Live it up,’ as Bruce often says, and that is exactly what we intend to do together.”

Aphasia is a condition that impairs the language-processing region of the brain, resulting in an inability to understand or formulate words. Inability to comprehend language, inability to communicate spontaneously, and inability to construct words are some of the symptoms.
Willis has been rumored to be suffering from a neurological condition for quite some time. Fans were concerned about Willis’ recent performances in a series of direct-to-video films, noting how unengaged he appeared to be.
Willis may be leaving the industry that made him famous, but he leaves behind a commendable legacy that includes Die Hard, The Sixth Sense, and the time travel drama 12 Monkeys.
