Actor Bruce Willis’ Terrible Untreated Disease: What’s the Life Expectancy of Someone With Frontotemporal Dementia?

In the beer commercial, shot in 2021, the cult Hollywood actor played a peculiar character called the “Guardian of Taste”, whose mission was to protect the drink, reports El Sol de México.

As described by Sensacine, the actor personifies a jealous guard who oversees every detail of the production of the drink, lives in the refrigerators and takes care of the quality and temperature of the beer, a “difficult job” as can be seen in the advertisement in the funny movie road.

“This is the first time I am playing a character with these characteristics for a beer brand. I had a lot of fun embodying The Guardian of Flavor. It was like going back to my acting beginnings; I remembered the characters who gave everything for the cause, and what is better than defending the taste of good beer,” said the actor in a statement quoted by El Sol de México.

The commercial for the Tecate beer brand was a success and became an indelible memory for Willis fans in Mexico. But two years later, the actor faces an uphill battle against frontotemporal dementia, a disease that affects his memory and ability to communicate.

Bruce Willis’s declining health

The frontotemporal dementia of the protagonist of “The Sixth Sense” is getting worse and he no longer knows Demi Moore, the actress who was his wife for 10 years and with whom he had three daughters.

According to a source close to the family who spoke to the media ‘Closer Weekly’ and was quoted by El Tiempo, Bruce’s memory faded and he had difficulty recognizing close people, such as Demi Moore.

“Demi realized that he didn’t really recognize her. “She had no idea he had fallen that far,” the source said. The same insider added that even though his health is deteriorating, Willis still recognizes his daughters and current wife Emma Heming.

Last October, director Glenn Gordon commented that Willis was a man full of vitality, culture and humor, but that he has now lost much of his personality.

“He (Bruce) is not completely verbal. He used to be a voracious reader (he didn’t want anyone to know), but now he doesn’t read. “All those language skills are no longer available to him,” he said.

However, the director added that “when you’re with him, you know it’s Bruce and you feel happy that he’s there,” he said, “but the joie de vivre is gone,” he mentioned.

In February 2022, Bruce Willis’ family announced that he had been diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder that affects the ability to speak and communicate. And a year later, in March 2023, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
