Geez and by my standard he’s not that old.
safe & effective?
That’s too bad. My late father had aphasia as a symptom of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Sad. Quite possibly from physical trauma to the head from his earlier acting days.
in other words JBS Joe Biden syndrome
Sorry to hear this, a fine actor and Hollywood conservative.
We’re the same age, yikes.
As long as he can still pull a trigger his acting career shouldn’t suffer.
I’m very sorry to hear this.
Recently he seems to have been in a bad place, not enjoying film-making any more. And now this.
(And yes, I suppose it could be some Vax thing. Everybody who has a setback from now on - always have it in the back of my mind)
What is it the in thing in Hollywood to have diseases that start with an A?
Before a few days ago never heard of alopecia and now aphasia.
A cognative disorder like this can be a side effect of a prescription drug or a symptom of some other disease, such as a chronic infection.
My first step would be to discontinue all drugs.
Bummer. Always liked Bruce.
Didn’t realize he was 67 years old already. I wish him well. That was a very nice statement his family put out. Always seemed like a nice, unpretentious actor.
I had a very good, best friend who got aphasia after having a small stroke. It can be mild or extreme, he had it pretty bad. It’s the most damnable rotten thing. It is the dysfunction of the neural/physiological connection between having thoughts and being able to formulate and assemble words with ones mouth and jaw muscles trying to express those thoughts.
The stroke (often, typically) damages the ability to formulate the thoughts, as well, so not only does the “computer” get degraded but then the mechanism to to translate those thoughts into audible words gets thrashed. My pal and I had conducted hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of business together in hundreds of generally easy, fun, and straightforward transactions though the years and post-stroke he could not distinguish between ten, hundred, thousand. He could not distinguish between minute, hour, day, week, month, year. It really become instantly impossible to work together and impossible to work any kind of transaction with him as I could never be sure of what he was thinking/intending. And attempts to do so became intensely difficult because I could never be sure of what he was intending, even when he tried to write out what he wanted, because that functionality was damaged as well. Very sad.
Sad news. I’ve only heard great things about him from people who know him.
I really enjoyed the Netflix episode of “The Movies that Made Us” episode about Die Hard. Some amazing stories about that movie.
Years ago...I was looking for a used Explorer. Every dang car lot I went to..the salesmen would swarm me....
I figured out to play like I was deaf....They didn't bother me anymore. Ha!!

Terrible news. My sister always accused me of liking ‘tough guys’ because I liked Bruce Willis. But I first started liking him as a short, funny balding guy on Moonlighting. I’ll keep him in my prayers.
