Legendary actor Bruce Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last month. The retired actor stepped out in Santa Monica on Thursday. FTD symptoms often arise in younger patients between the ages of 40 and 65, according to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
The actor who featured in ‘Pulp Fiction’, ‘Armageddon’, ‘Die Hard’ and ‘The Sixth Sense’, has been getting worse and his family and friends have been responsible for giving updates on his health.
One of the last updates has come from his ex, Maria Bravo, who said that Willis is further and further away from recovery. The philanthropist has participated in a charity event, the Global Gift Gala, where she discussed about his health condition via MARCA.
“It’s getting worse and worse,” stressed Bravo.
“He is not well. I spoke with his wife, with Emma, and unfortunately it is a disease that is getting worse and worse. We send him a lot of energy and a lot of love.”
Willis and Bravo, whose relationship lasted two years, met at the opening of a restaurant, the Planet Hollywood, in the early years of this century in which they moved between Los Angeles and Marbella, Spain.
Despite their break-up, Bravo dedicated some emotional words to Willis after finding out about his state of health.
“All my love to Bruce and his beautiful family,” she wrote.
