We’re continuing to send love and light to Hollywood veteran, Bruce Willis, who retired from acting in March 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia. Now that the ‘80s series Moonlighting is streaming on Hulu, its creator Glenn Gordon is speaking out about his relationship with Bruce and his current condition.

A year after his aphasia diagnosis, Bruce was further diagnosed with the progressive disease frontotemporal dementia (FTD) which per Gordon, has left him “not totally verbal” and “incommunicative,” Gordon told New York Post. He assures Bruce is still Bruce, but his “joie de vivre,” meaning his liveliness, is a bit dim.
