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.

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.

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.

I always enjoyed Bruce Willis. It's been a shame watching him and Nick Cage dwindle slowly toward Gary Busey.

Busey was self inflicted.

Smokin' cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo finally caught up with him...


...seriously, that does suck. I liked him in Red, probably the last thing I can think of watching him in.

Very sad. He always seemed like a regular guy and had a great sense of humor. And he got to boink Cybill Shepherd at her peak, and Demi Moore too, so he'll always have that. I really liked him in the Red movies with Malkovich.

Too bad. Usually a mini stroke. But, he will live forever, at least at Christmas time as John McClain.
