Actor Bruce Willis faces communication challenges following dementia diagnosis


The latest information on the renowned actor’s condition has been shared by Glenn Gordon Caron, an American writer and friend of Bruce Willis.

Last February, it was announced that the 68-year-old star had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

In February this year, it was confirmed that Willis’ illness had progressed to FTD, which can cause behavioral and language difficulties.

Glenn Gordon Caron, 69, spoke to the New York Post about his monthly visits to the actor.

He emphasized that despite the challenges posed by FTD, Willis still recognizes him during his visits.

Caron noted that while Willis may struggle with communication, he continues to recognize people and maintain aspects of his personality.

Emma Heming Willis, Bruce Willis’ wife, appeared on the Today show and expressed uncertainties about her husband’s awareness of his condition.

She emphasized the challenges faced by both the diagnosed individual and their family.

Frontotemporal dementia affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and can lead to speech difficulties, emotional changes, and personality alterations. It may also impact motor skills.
