Bruce Willis's family has confirmed plans to donate the actor's brain to scientific research after his death, as they push forward with a major fund aimed at tackling frontotemporal dementia. The Bruce Willis brain donation plan, which first surfaced late last year, has resurfaced this month with the announcement of the fund's inaugural grant, demonstrating the family's determination to support research into the condition that ended the star's acting career.
Willis, 71, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023 after an earlier diagnosis of aphasia in 2022. The disorder, which affects behaviour, personality and language skills, is the most common form of dementia in people under the age of 60.
