Holy shit.

At his peak, Bruce was one of my favorite actors. Wonder if the rumors of him being difficult and lazy are related to this problem.

?

He has a condition that affects how he understands language.
How is someone speaking to him going to help him around that?

The earpiece he wore while acting, I suspect, was due to the well documented hearing loss he suffered while making the Die Hard movie.

Maybe there is a hallmark movie in his future

So that's why he didn't appear at the Oscars when Pulp Fiction was honored. They had bald Travolta, old Uma, and supposed Canadian citizen Samuel L. Jackson.

Aphasia can be a symptom of alzheimer's, dementia and other brain damage. I think they're just trying to sugar coat how bad his situation really is.

If he knew what was going on, you'd have to think he'd release a statement on his own and not have his family making his decisions for him at age 67.

Like I said, from what I heard from an agent in the business, Bruce wanted to keep working and doing movies, even if he didn't know what was going on most of the time. But there's also the fear that people close to him were exploiting him.

Bruce Willis is awesome. The Last Boy Scout is one of my all-time favorites.

Absolutely one of my favorite actors, but time had passed him by anyways.

On game day, your dumbass posts in random threads thinking it’s the game day thread. You will post 3-5 posts in a row in some random ass thread, apparently you are too ignorant to understand that you do that.


I act like a dick to people who deserve it, you act like you have toxic shock syndrome 95% of the time. So you definitely deserve it.

It WAS indeed.

My father-in-law has this. Was diagnosed a couple years ago. I think it's also somehow related to early onset dementia? That may just be in the FIL's case though, so don't quote me.

It's been hard to watch it take its toll on the guy. His speech has definitely been affected. He has a hard time "spitting it out," in so many words (no pun intended lol). It's only downhill from here, apparently. Sucks.
