Bruce Willis is retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia

In an Instagram post, members of Bruce Willis’ family announced that he will be stepping away from his career after being recently diagnosed with aphasia, a neurological, often slow-progressing condition that impairs one’s ability to communicate.

“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,” the family’s statement read. It appears on the pages of actress Demi Moore, who is his ex-wife, and his current wife, Emma Heming Willis. “As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
