Actor Bruce Willis says he is stepping away from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia. Health reporter StahlCBS3 speaks to a local doctor who explains what aphasia is, how it impacts cognitive abilities & just how debilitating it can be.
“It is really variable depending on the severity of the impairment. For many people with aphasia, they’ll describe it kind of like identity theft, it impacts not just the basic language skills but also their ability to stay engaged in their community,” Dr. Antonucci said.
The 67-year-old’s ex-wife Demi Moore also posted on Instagram, saying “As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.”“Wishing both Mr. Willis and his family all of the best for this journey, and to be honest with you I think it’s very generous of Mr. Willis and his family to have made this announcement and shared this information with people because it I think will be a catalyst for people becoming more educated about aphasia,” Dr. Antonucci said.
