After aphasia diagnosis, Bruce Willis to step away from acting

NEW YORK — Bruce Willis is stepping away from acting after a diagnosis of aphasia, a condition that causes loss of the ability to understand or express speech, his family announced Wednesday.

In a statement posted on Willis’ Instagram page, the 67-year-old actor’s family said Willis was recently diagnosed with aphasia and that it is impacting his cognitive abilities.

“As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” read the statement signed by Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife Demi Moore, and his five children, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn.

Yeah...I had to take a second look--thought the same thing

I really feel bad for him. He's only 67.

I've always had the impression that he doesn't take himself overly serious and kept his politics to himself for the most part. I wish him well in his retirement.

I hate this is happening to him. I love his RED movies. My favorites...and Moonrise Kingdom. He's such a versatile actor. Drama, comedy, romantic comedy, hero, villain, He does it all.

I wish him well.
