In the article, she wrote: "As a family, we would like to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health problems. He was recently diagnosed with "aphasia," which affected his cognitive abilities. So, after much deliberation, Bruce is leaving the profession of actor that means a lot to him.
Ramo Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis, also said in the post: "This is a very challenging time for our family. Thank you so much for your continued love, compassion and support. Our family will unite to get through this. ”

The ex-wife takes care of it with her current wife
Surprisingly, in the fall of Demi Moore's article, the names emma, Demi, Rumer, Scott, Tallura, Mabel and Evelyn appear.
Demi Moore was Bruce Willis' first wife, who married in 1987 and divorced in 2000; Emma Heming Willis is his second wife, married in 2009, and is the current wife. Moore is the mother of Rummer, Scott, and Tallura; Emma is the mother of Mabel and Evelyn.
It's very gratifying that a husband can handle both his ex-wife's relationship with his current wife well, which shows that Bruce Willis is very remarkable in handling relationships.
The so-called "aphasia" refers to the lesions of the brain tissue related to the function of language in the patient, and the patient's ability to understand and express the human communicative symbol system is impaired, thus affecting the ability to speak, write and understand spoken and written language.
In fact, Bruce Willis has developed symptoms associated with aphasia in recent years. As early as the filming of "Mr. Glass" in 2019, some people found that his condition was much worse than before. Bruce needed to wear a headset on the set, listen to others read his lines, and then follow it, his memory dropped badly. Post-production crews can only string together Bruce's intermittent lines through editing.
And the action shots he is best at, especially those fierce gunfight scenes, also need to be done with a stand-in.
Bruce has sold his property in New York and spent more time living in Los Angeles, taking care of his life as a family.

He once cooperated with Xu Qing to play a couple
The 1990s were the peak of his film career, contributing a series of classic films.

In 1997, he starred with Mira Jovovich in the science fiction film The Fifth Element, directed by French director Luc Besson, in which he played Kerben, a retired agent who drove a taxi for a living. The film's sci-fi style is unique, the set is gorgeous, and it has a high reputation among sci-fi fans.
In 1998, he played Harry, the oil drilling foreman in Michael Bay's "The End of the World" (aka "The End of the World"), and flew into space with a group of drillers, drilled holes through the center of the meteorite in 18 days, and then put a nuclear bomb to detonate, thus saving the earth.

In recent years, he has been shortlisted for the Golden Raspberry Award four times
For action stars, age is an insurmountable hurdle.
After 2010, Bruce Willis still took on a lot of films, but the era of his scenery has passed.
In recent years, the quality of Bruce's work has plummeted, and he once became the spokesperson for bad films. He has been nominated for the Golden Raspberry Awards for four consecutive years, including all 8 films in 2021. To this end, the Golden Plum Awards also set up a special award for him - the 2021 Bruce Willis Worst Film Performance Award, in order to select the "worst one" of the 8 bad films he starred in.
The treatment of aphasia is difficult, and for Bruce, who is 67 years old this year, the audience will not have many opportunities to see his new film again.
But no matter what, this tough guy on the screen has left so many classic roles for the audience on the big screen. His bald head shape also deeply influenced hollywood stars such as "Megalithic" Johnson and Van Diesel.
More importantly, Bruce's rough appearance, emphasis on family and affection, jealous personality, strong muscle lines and the momentum of seeing death in the rain of bullets and bullets have captured the hearts of American blue-collar workers, which has allowed his character to penetrate the hearts of the people and become the "first tough guy on the screen".
(Original title: He was ranked first in the "action hero of film history", but now he has withdrawn from the film world due to aphasia)
