• Bruce Willis, who retired from acting last year due to aphasia, has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a type of dementia that often affects people at a younger age
  • FTD causes personality changes, speech difficulty, and motor impairment
  • Willis’ family has released a statement thanking people for their support and highlighting the need for awareness and research for the disease
  • Rumer Willis also shared the news on Instagram, and the family hopes that media attention can be focused on bringing more attention to the disease; there is currently no cure for FTD
