This could be Bruce Willis’ life expectancy after he shows dramatic and rapid deterioration: he’s slow, aggressive and no longer recognizes his mother

Bruce Willis is going through difficult times, and the deterioration of his health is increasingly dramatic. Just a month ago, his family revealed the diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, and the symptoms had already worsened.

This was revealed to the German newspaper Bild by Wilfried Gliem, Willis’ uncle by marriage. According to the testimony, Marlene Willis, the actor’s mother, says that “she is not really sure that her son recognizes her, that she is acting slowly and somewhat aggressively.”
