Bruce Willis Aphasia: Actor Experiencing THIS on Set Before Diagnosis Was Revealed
Way before Bruce Willis' family announced that the actor was currently suffering from a medical condition called aphasia, he was having cognitive issues while working on his recent movies, as revealed by a source.
After a decades-long career, his family revealed that the actor would be stepping down from show business due to his health condition.
According to an insider who spoke to Page Six, the "Survive the Game" actor was having issues while filming his recent movies dating back to 2020.
The 67-year-old star reportedly had "cognitive problems," and everyone on set knew that he was suffering from something.
"Everybody knew, the cast and crew. His family has stepped in, they moved in to take care of him," the source added.
While working on the movie, the insider said Willis was using earpieces to hear things and for the crew to feed him his lines for a specific scene before noting that they had a hard time "having him on screen."
His cognitive issues were so bad that the production had to use a body double at times, not just for action shots but also for maximizing his screen time.
In addition, the production crew made a big move by moving the set near to where he was living, but it was evident that he was having trouble and couldn't act anymore.
Bruce Willis' Family Announced the Actor's Aphasia Diagnosis
The recent revelation comes after the Willis family announced that the "Die Hard" actor had been diagnosed with aphasia and would be stepping away from his acting career.
"This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support," the statement reads.
They added that they are moving forward as a family, and they wanted his fans to know how much they mean to him.
What Is Aphasia?
According to Mayo Clinic, Aphasia is a medical condition that makes a person have a hard time communicating.
It could also affect the patient's ability to write, understand language, and speak.
The condition commonly happens after a stroke or suffering from a head injury. In some cases, it could occur gradually from a slow-growing brain tumor.
