Bruce Willis was one of the most outstanding actors for an entire generation. His film career will be linked to the role of the man of action, tough, unscrupulous, capable of doing any task, however risky it may seem, to achieve his goal. Die Hard, Armageddon, Red and Sin City exemplify that facet, although he also achieved success in a role as diametrically opposed as that of The Sixth Sense. However, his career slowly faded away.
In March 2022, the interpreter announced his temporary withdrawal from the world of cinema due to aphasia, a neurological disorder that affected his ability to communicate through speech and writing, due to brain problems. This disease later led to a more worrisome diagnosis, when it was learned that Willis suffered from frontotemporal dementia. Since then, his loved ones have watched over his well-being, even those who are no longer with him.
The actress María Bravo, the actor's ex-partner, spoke about her state of health during the red carpet of the Global Gift Gala in Marbella, of which she was one of the hostesses. The woman from Malaga dated the American during the 1990s, before becoming one of the most important philanthropists in Hollywood and the United States as a whole. Before the spotlights and the cameras, the journalists asked him about various celebrities, including Willis.
“It's not so good. I spoke with his wife, with Emma, and unfortunately it is a disease that is getting progressively worse. Well, she sends her a lot of new energy and a lot of love, ”Bravo said about the protagonist of Jungla de Cristal. It should be noted that the family has spoken in droppers about the actor, considering that his condition is neurodegenerative and his closest circle is suffering the consequences.
“As a family we want to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia. As a result of this and after thinking about it seriously, Bruce has decided to take a step back in his career and retire from him, something that means a lot to him, ”commented his daughter Rumer in the publication that made Willis' retirement public. Since then, his family has been following him closely.
Her daughter Tallulah recently confessed to knowing something was wrong before her relatives made the public announcement, something that affected her because of the diagnoses she was struggling with: “Sometimes I took it personally. I had had two babies with my stepmother and I thought she had lost interest in me. My brain was racked with some faulty math. 'I'm not beautiful enough for my father, I'm not interesting enough.' She couldn't have been further from the truth."
