It is sad to see that many of the great actors of my generation are slowing fading away over the years.
...as we all are fading...
Life can do that to humans over time
Hey, William Shatner is 90 years old and still going strong!!!
@@rollingdudes8859 Also Clint Eastwood.
I know,my childhood is fading
It’s sad to see that he will not be acting but I cannot wait for him to get all the help and support he deserves.. he gave us some amazing movies🥺
And TV. Moonlighting is AMAZING. Early on Bruce gave 300% to each role and he left work that will outlive us all.
@@kaipacifica1289 I loved that show. ❤
So sad to hear about Bruce . One of my favorite actors of all time. I hope and pray for him and all those who suffer from this cognitive decline.. May he know that a lot of people care about him.
This breaks my heart to hear. Can't believe time has blown by so fast. Thank goodness Bruce is still with us because we are losing so many movie stars and comedians lately.
I had a stroke back in june and im only 32 and im still affected with aphasia sometimes i know what I'm about to say but it won't come out it's been frustrating sometimes but it's alot going to speech therapy better i feel for the man hes a legend!
Stay strong Cody in your own right you're a star just like Bruce. GOOD LUCK!!
Hugs and kisses , keep up good work therapy is going to help greatly 🤗
@@stuffkip thank you!
@Aynsley on Earth no it was a stroke from a lot a stress.
@Aynsley on Earth no you’re not, you just wanted to spread your theories and disregarded his story because it didn’t fit your narrative
Bruce has always been a great man, our movie hero, the star we have stole so many lines from… that won’t change. I’ve been watching Bruce since moonlighting, like many of us. This breaks my heart. He’s so blessed to have such a loving family by his side. We love you Bruce! 💜🙏🏻
Me too
❤👍
12 hours on set, I'd forget my lines too.
The first movie i got to intern on was a bruce willis film being shot in cincinnati and i am nothing but grateful for that man. he only talked to me once to say thank you at the end of his shoot day and i just remember being like wow i’m a nobody not even some of the top producers say good morning back to me but he thanked me. incredible actor and man. thank you bruce willis and im so sorry.
Morgan you better not be lying!
Tragic, Heart hugs to family and friends. Bruce you are a incredible man
Since I'm left handed I would give my right arm so Mr. Willis was cured of this horrible disease. He's one of my childhood movie heroes and this really saddens me alot. God Bless and my heart goes out for the family.
I hope he gets better he's been one of my favorite actors since the 90s
Seriously doubt at his age it’ll get better...
Bruce will do well, I wish him love, light, peace and know he will do fine.
No matter how famous how rich you are our bodies are all the scene
Same
All the scene? Do you also have aphasia?
For one of my favorite actors God bless you and your family!!! You are amazing.
My brother in-law passed away at 58 from Lewy body disease. I don’t wish this on my worst enemy. Dealing with physical disabilities is much easier then dealing with the brain dying.
Bruce Willis always hits a home run.... a great Actor, professional, handsome, active and a Father and Husband. I send a hug and a kiss from Canada and Healing and Friendship. Blessings for World Peace.
Yes Amen.... Healing and World Peace... Sending Love Your Way Canada... Team Love...
It's sad that we have people who want to overshadow love and support with such hate..... No Drugs here, but maybe you should do something to curve your Ignorance.... Your Welcome Duck Brain....
Bruce is a class act.
We love you Bruce.
We have loved Bruce Wiilis movies for decades! We're so sorry this is happening to him. We love you Bruce!❤
I’m a huge fan, all the way back to his Moonlighting days with Cybill Shepherd. Thanks for all the fantastic movies, Bruce! 👏🏼💯 Yipee Ki yay !!!
From the 5g ?
We love U Bruce 👍
Bruce...🥺
I would be concerned about why.
God bless him. He’s bought us so much fun
I wish him the best. I used to watch moonlighting with my mother in 1985 .
Some cases of expressive and receptive aphasia related to Tick borne illnesses and Vitamin imbalances. Much luck and love, hoping for an answer to symptoms and healing quickly ♥️🕊🙏
Any relationship between his stuttering as a child and young adult and his current diagnosis with aphasia.
Bruce Willis…I love your work….thanks buddy🇺🇸❤️🕊
Cruel of crew members to speak of his cognitive decline on set. Should have stayed between them
Wow... Bruce I Love You.... I can remember watching Die Hard for the first time with my knuckle head brothers and my Dad... We all thought we were action heroes after watching it. Truly sending prayers and love your way. To Bruce and Family this is when you lean on Jesus when days seem rough. Jesus is working right now and believe in healing. Love You Bruce.... Your a true Icon and Legend!!!!
🙏🏽
This is so rude and insensitive of people to come forward and talk about his onset struggles.how about just having some compassion and care for bruce instead of coming out now.
So heartbreaking
So sad! 😢
Still can’t believe 😢love you forever ❤my prayers for you 🙏
That’s probably been awhile very difficult to deal wit my husband has this
Best wishes.
Get well soon, speedy recovery.
God speed and good luck to you, Bruce.
Damned sad, man.
Looks like he tried to make as many movies as possible in a shortest amount of time to make the largest possible amount of money. Possibly for the sake of his children.
Had brain tumour removed left many disabilities incl one Mr Willis has frustrating when I use to have photographic memory my best wishes to Mr b willis
Don't care if he has an ear piece he's still the best actor!!!
Julian Cardinal It is very sad news, and he used to be an amazing actor, but i think it is time to face facts he hasn't been up to his normal standard now for a few years!
The last about 4/5 of his films have all been pretty poor, and he hasn't done much acting in them at all, and no action whatsoever, so it is time he retired, best thing for him really!
God Bless Bruce ! Such a legend, prayers
My mother had this. :(
1:20 it sounds like she can recall her name, she was just struggling to annunciate the word
It's pretty clear now that he was banging out all those low budget flicks just to put some extra money in the bank while he still could
He did it to give younger filmmakers an opportunity to work with him before it was too late. He put other people before himself before He couldn't do it anymore
His net worth is $200,000,000.
Is that all? That isnt too much.
I think poor Bruce is suffering from plain old dementia, and his family is trying to protect his legacy and him from the stigma that sadly is associated with that.
Bingo
Where do you live that forms of dementia have a “ stigma”? It’s a medical condition that occurs in many forms, requires intervention and support, is devastating to the patient and loved ones, and is nobody’s fault. There is no such thing as plain old dementia. As unique as the brain it’s affecting. Poor man .
🙏🏼
May he get well soon
In some ways its the challenge of the youth - age development advanced by injury - results in slower speed. So why do we elect and follow politicians/media in years above standard retirement of 65? Seriously - I am mid 50s. I felt slower memory replacement in the early 40s. Wisdom though is probably 45 or so.
I hope u fight this all u can be strong we r all thinking of u 💖💙💓💛
So sad
one of the greatest actors of the 90s
I pray he has a comfortable life for what is left for him with his family. Bruce doesn’t owe us a thing. We love you Bruce!
Too bad all those millions of dollars can't help with fixing the most important needs in life "health".
For those of us familiar with the diagnosis of Aphasia, this announcement was really odd. Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension. The typical cause is stroke. It would have made more sense for whoever made the announcement to the public, that Bruce had a stroke or whatever the underlying cause was. Aphasia in itself is a result of brain damage or deterioration. Either way, I am sorry for Bruce, and his family, however glad he has support.
It was his daughters that made the post
He suffered damage to the head filming a movie
Primary Progressive Aphasia is a type of Frontotemporal dementia, not related to stroke
What kind of help is available for that?
🙏🙏🙏
We love you Bruce!
PEACE, LOVE, PROSPERITY, BONANZA, HAPPINESS, FREE THINKING, GOOD HEALTH, OPTIMISM
😥😥😥
Its a hard condition to endure, maybe bruce should take up writing.
I know for me personally it has helped me cope.
J aimerais savoir comment cela se déclenche.
Cela a du être si terrible pour lui , il était si actif.
Bruce is still the best Yepekia! keep holding on hero.❤
i want to see him as a speachless villain in a trilogy
Speechless
@@drewjenn9819 but he's so peachy
💓💓💓💓
I love Bruce Willis ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. So many prayers for healthy healing 🙏🏽. Anything through God
Why don't you leave him alone!
I bet you feel bad now for making fun of him.
he made so many movies last year that i cant even imagine how was his life. now he will ne able to stop and think about himself. i hope he will get better. good luck bruce.
Bruce is great actor pray for him
He is a legend
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Leave him alone.
one day he might not recognize anyone
As someone who has enjoyed Bruce Willis since his Moonlighting days, this makes me sad
I hope he gets better and becomes able to enjoy his life as best as possible I thank you bruce for beautiful movies jst get well soon
I wonder if hyperbaric treatments would help
Tragic ,Will always remember Bruce Willis as A villian in Miami Vice in 1984,and as John Maclane in the Die hard movies ,Just a shame .
Love him .. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Great guy such a shame hope he gets better
Best case scenario for him is to sign contracts with agencies for his CGI approval. Moving forward in his future movie career.
Aphasia is a symptom ... of a bigger issue. Usually dementia.
Its more about quality of life from here on in.
He will always be Korben Dallas, to me.
I really loved the Fifth Element a strong array of brilliant comedians and actors from all over the world, but I especially loved Bruce Willis in this movie, so funny and strong, one of Bruce's best movies on par with his Red and Die Hard movies.Yes he made a terrific Korben Dallas
Mcclarke?
Bruce Willis is a great actor and I always like the movies he was in and the Die Hard movies r classics that never get old I'm sorry to hear that he is struggling with this condition and I hope for the best for him and his family
good lol
Wonder who made Christmas Wreath? Love Bruce and kiddies
🤦
Bruce i love you. Go for treatments and you will recover and will be back acting. But the problem is you will get use to not acting then you wont want to act anymore
. Get better first. Love carrie.
Say what you want , Youth is everything!
Yes, he's stopped doing a lot of interaction in his latest B and C rated movies.
Who doesn't go cuckoo there in Lost Aphesia town,called L.A. I had enough. Karita
Amelia had aneurysm
The best action man and the coolest funniest man, vanilla ice ice baby❤❤
Give him a break awesome action star stuck it out as long as possible.
Red Letter Media called it….
Are they serious a 12 hour shift you noticed something because he was tired wowwee
I JUST LOST MY MOTHER A FEW MONTHS AGO TO DEMENTIA. IT IS NOT EASY AND THE PAPARAZZI NEEDS TO BACK OFF AND LET HIM HAVE PEACE IN HIS LIFE. WE WILL ALL MISS HIM ON THE BIG SCREEN BUT FOR ME, MY HEART, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIM AND HIS FAMILY. UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS. I SAW MY MOM FOUR DAYS BEFORE SHE DIED AND SHE DID NOT KNOW ME. I PRAY WITH ALL I AM THAT BRUCE NEVER GETS THAT BAD. YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM. I WILL BE THINKING OF YOU ALL.
Thanks for your continues love❤️ and support,that’s what keeps me going
How long have you been a fan of mine?
@@Brucewillis-xz8zp I HAVE BEEN A FAN FOR A LONG TIME. I AM 62 NOW. YOU HAVE DONE SO MANY WONDERFUL MOVIES. I DO NOT HOWEVER BELIEVE THIS IS BRUCE HIMSELF. RIGHT NOW HE HAS OTHER THINGS ON HIS MIND. I JUST HOPE THE MAN LIVES FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER TWENTY TO THIRTY YEARS. TAKE CARE BRUCE.
Its with heartfelt gratitude I wanna say thank you for your kind words. I don't usually do this often as I'm not on social media but your kind words attracted me. Its been an honor entertaining you. Where are you from ?
@@Brucewillis-xz8zp I AM FROM WAMEGO, KANSAS. IT'S A SMALL TOWN. I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING YOU OVER THE YEARS. SINCE I HAVE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH WHAT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH, I KNOW HOW HARD IT CAN BE. YOU JUST TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. I PRAY YOU LIVE AT LEAST ANOTHER 20-30 YEARS. PLEASE STAY HELTHY. I LOVE YOU BRUCE. I DON'T TALK TO ANYONE ON HERE ANYMORE EXCEPT COMMENTS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS FAKE.. IF YOU HAVE A VERIFIED PAGE ON INSTAGRAM READ IT FOR ME. I WOULD ASK ONE THING OF YOU. I LOVE YOU.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I lv bruce so much, legend so so handsome to
The good thing is it's only speech, he is still healthy otherwise and can appreciate his family and spend time with them.... aphasia is way preferable to alsheimers. Sucks for an actor though... but dude is 70... had a good run
