- Bruce Willis, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in February 2023, has moved out of his family home to live with a full-time care team as his condition progresses.
- His wife, Emma Heming Willis, explained the decision was made to ensure continuity for their daughters, as Bruce would have wanted their lives to be unaffected by adjustments to their home.
- Frontotemporal dementia is a rare degenerative brain disorder that primarily affects the frontal and temporal lobes, impacting personality, behavior, and language.
- Willis was initially diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder, in March 2022, before the FTD diagnosis was confirmed.
- There is currently no cure or prevention for FTD, and Willis's family hopes that media attention will raise awareness and encourage further research into the condition.
