Bruce Willis is struggling with several health woes

Hollywood action icon Bruce Willis’ health is reportedly declining over the years. The 70-year-old actor is struggling with several health woes, leaving his fans concerned. He was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which led to his retirement from acting.

According to The Express, Bruce Willis’ health has now worsened, and he is now said to “have become largely non-verbal. He is reportedly experiencing motor difficulties, though no specific details about his mobility have been confirmed by his family in recent months."

However, the recent reports have also suggested that the former actor can no longer speak or walk.

However, Bruce’s family previously released an official update on his health and reassured his fans that his condition is stable. He has also reported to be having trouble remembering his Hollywood days and films from the 90s and 2000s.

For the unversed, Bruce Willis took retirement from acting in 2022 after a four-decade career following his diagnosis of aphasia. His health woes continued, and he suffered from a new diagnosis of dementia, a degenerative brain disease that affects areas of the brain responsible for behaviour, personality, and language.
