BRUCE WILLIS, BROKEN HERO

An icon brought down by disease

Synopsis

In 2023, Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a dramatic outcome for an actor who has built such an extensive body of work that he can’t be easily pigeon-holed. From comedy to action films, his unconventional choices have turned Hollywood’s codes upside down.

Driven by challenge and curiosity, Bruce Willis has been at the top of the box office many times and has always been able to bounce back after enduring criticism and failures.

Yet, his condition might be the one setback he cannot overcome.
