When Bruce Willis revealed he was suffering from aphasia it offered an unlikely lifeline to another actor. Former Bill star Chris Ellison has been struggling with the same condition since having a stroke a year and a half ago.
Chris found the condition so hard to deal with, he and his wife Anita have "been like hermits", rarely leaving their home. The once powerful actor has seen his talents "taken away" now struggling to answer everyday questions.
But after Hollywood legend Bruce Willis broke his silence to tell of his own struggle with the condition, it has lifted the spirits of his fellow actor. Now Chris and Anita have told of their own ordeal on ITV's Good Morning Britain, reports The Express.
