Bruce Willis’ family worry about decreased appetite and weight loss – This ‘could be his last birthday’

When Bruce Willis withdrew from the spotlight his fans wondered what the reason behind that decision could be. Shortly after, his family issued a statement in which they wrote the actor was diagnosed with a more specific condition; frontotemporal dementia.

“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis,” his daughter Rumer Willis posted on the social media.

“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.

“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).”

His wife, Emma, who’s he’s caretaker, shares updates on the condition of the actor with the fans and they are getting more and more worried for his state.

“Dementia is hard. It’s hard on the person diagnosed, it’s also hard on the family. That is no different for Bruce, or myself, or our girls. When they say this is a family disease, it really is,” Emma said during an appearance on the Today show for World Frontotemporal Dementia Awareness Week.

On March 19, Willis celebrated his 69th birthday.
However, the family is concerned about the actor’s weight loss and decreased appetite, as his condition continues to deteriorate.
