Bruce Willis is getting worse. The 67-year-old actor suffers from aphasia . It is a progressive and highly disabling disease that impairs cognitive abilities and causes the loss of the ability to produce language .
A source close to the former actor, forced to say goodbye to the cinema last March due to the pathology, said that Bruce Willis practically no longer speaks and understands less and less what they say to him.
A continuous and progressive deterioration. Currently his wife Emma "is his voice and his means of communication, there are days when you see glimpses of the old Bruce, but they are short and less and less frequent. He seems to be slipping further and further away , the girls can't imagine Christmas without him. The whole family prays for him and hopes for a Christmas miracle."
The Hollywood star – who has earned over $5 billion at the box office worldwide in his career – is spending the holidays with his extended family. Not only were his wife Emma and daughters Mabel and Evelyn, aged 10 and 8, present. Also close to him is his ex-wife Demi Moore, with whom the actor has always remained on excellent terms, and the three daughters he had with her : Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, aged 34, 31 and 28.
Shortly before receiving the diagnosis, the actor also changed his will, allocating a large part of his fortune ($250 million) to his current wife and children . Only 1% will go to Demi Moore's daughters, also because the three have well-established careers and can count on their mother's assets, revealed the same source.
