Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, has recently shared an update regarding her husband.
Speaking during a recent interview, she shed light on the star's battle with frontotemporal dementia, stating that he does not know he has the condition.

Emma then attributed this lack of awareness to a brain-related symptom of the condition called anosognosia. This is where the person's brain cannot even recognize its own cognitive decline.

The Die Hard star was first diagnosed with aphasia in 2022. This is known to impact language and is a condition that later progresses to frontotemporal dementia, which was made public in 2023.
