Bruce Willis diagnosed

Willis' wife, Emma Heming, thanked fans for support since revelation of the actor's cognitive disorder, and daughter Scout said it's been 'surreal.'

“All my love and respect to my big brother Bruce Willis,” Shyamalan wrote Wednesday. “I know his wonderful family is surrounding him with support and strength. The Times reported Wednesday that Willis’ health issues have long been a concern for many who worked with him in recent years, with some questioning if the “Pulp Fiction” actor was fully aware of his surroundings on set. “He’s a true legend who has enriched all of our lives with a singular career that spans nearly half a century. Filmmaker Kevin Smith, who worked with Willis on the 2010 buddy comedy “Cop Out,” has since walked back “petty complaints” he made about the actor shortly after the film was released. “It kept hitting me yesterday how much love, energy and prayers were now being sent to my daddio and just humbling me in a way that’s brings tears as I write this,” she continued. Thank you so much to everyone who reached out to me yesterday, I love and I appreciate you with all my heart.”

While a source told the publication: “Bruce has been preparing for this moment for a long time. And Bruce and his wife also sold a huge home in Turks and Caicos in 2019 for $27 million (£20.6 million) – but this was $6 million (£4.6 million) less than the asking price. Bruce and his wife, the 43-year-old model Emma Heming, sold a property for £7.7 million (£5.9 million) in December 2019 – and they slashed their asking price by $5.3 million (£4 million). “Looking at how he has sold off most of his properties in recent years, it is clear that he has been preparing to downsize and simplify his life for a number of years.” Reports have said that the star has sold off property in New York and beyond and that he is going to focus on his life in California as he continues his health battle. While the news was only made public in recent days, it is suggested the actor has been aware of his prognosis “for some time” and he has sold off almost $65 million (£50 million) in property.

The aphasia community hopes Bruce Willis' diagnosis will help reduce the stigma of invisible illnesses and lead to better understanding of a condition that ...

The news of Willis’ diagnosis has sparked hope that, with increased awareness, more money could be raised to find a cure or better treatments for aphasia. The brain’s elasticity sometimes allows for new connections to be made across broken circuits, especially in the case of injuries or strokes. “Each of us has something we want to communicate,” she said. We talk in terms of living successfully and returning to participation in life.” When DePompei, the retired speech-language pathologist, began helping patients with aphasia more than 40 years ago, the manuals at the time recommended practicing with words in categorical lists, and there were picture cards. Some people with aphasia may be able to return to work with reasonable accommodation. Productions reworked their schedules and scripts to compress his dialogue and the amount of time he spent shooting. With good medical care and speech therapy, most patients whose aphasia is related to a stroke or another brain injury should see some improvement, Williamson said. Sometimes called the “tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon,” people are forced to stop midsentence and search for what should come next. The patient who couldn’t recall terms was able to express himself by explaining around them and is a good candidate for speech therapy. Early diagnosis and intervention are key so patients can start language therapy and develop a system of communication for when speech eventually fails, she said. Bruce Willis’ retirement from a four-decade acting career after an aphasia diagnosis has put the little-known disorder in the spotlight.

Razzie organisers said the award was "not appropriate" in light of the actor's health issues.

The Razzies also withdrew a previous nomination for Worst Actress for Shelley Duvall in The Shining. In light of the announcement, Razzies organisers said that it was "not appropriate" to award prizes to those whose medical conditions may have affected their performances. The Razzies or Golden Raspberry Awards celebrate the worst films and performances of the year.
