Bruce Willis, dont le déclin est inexorable, se comporte désormais comme «un bébé»
Suffering from frontotemporal dementia, Bruce Willis continues to see his condition deteriorate, to the point of adopting a behavior close to that of "a baby".
It can't get any better. According to an article published by the British website Daily Mail , Bruce Willis ' condition – who suffers from frontotemporal dementia (FTD), also known as frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) – continues to deteriorate to the point that he sometimes behaves like a baby.
"Sometimes he looks like a baby who will stare curiously at an object, giving it his full attention," a source confided. "But if you look at him, he looks like a perfectly normal middle-aged man," she continued, adding that Bruce Willis's celebrity friends "hardly ever come" to see him anymore.
According to his wife, Emma Heming-Willis, Bruce Willis is unaware of his medical condition, explaining that he never "made the connection" regarding his dementia. The 71-year-old actor suffers from a phenomenon called anosognosia, a neurological symptom in people with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) that prevents the affected person from recognizing their own illness, which then becomes the norm in their daily life.
“I think that’s both the blessing and the curse of this situation: Bruce never realized it—he never made the connection, he didn’t realize he had this illness. I’m really glad that he didn’t know,” his wife explained last January. It should be noted that this doesn’t prevent Bruce Willis from recognizing his loved ones, and that he hasn’t lost his memory.
