Bruce Willis halts acting career after diagnosis with cognitive disorder

Legendary "Die Hard" and "Pulp Fiction" actor Bruce Willis has ended his more than four-decade acting career after being diagnosed with a cognitive disorder, his family said.

The 67-year-old actor's blended family announced the news Wednesday morning in an Instagram post from his daughter Rumer Willis.

"To Bruce's amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities," Rumer Willis said in the post. "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him."
