Bruce Willis (67) draws a line under his Hollywood career because of his illness. The actor and his family announced this at the end of March. Since then, the Hollywood star has not been seen in public. Until now.
The ex-actor is sitting with friends on Sunday in Los Angeles at the Italian. Willis sits in the sun in casual clothes, with sunglasses on his shirt collar and a tanned complexion. After that, the ‘Die Hard’ star appeared to be spending time with his family.

He was seen in the Instagram stories of his wife Emma Heming Willis (43) in the evening with his two youngest daughters Mabel Ray (10) and Evelyn (8). He holds his children in his arms and appears to be grinning widely.
A statement from the family about six weeks ago said: “We want to inform you that our beloved Bruce has been struggling with a number of health conditions and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is affecting his cognitive abilities.”

What is aphasia?
Aphasia is an acquired language disorder. It occurs after damage to the language-dominant hemisphere. There are different degrees of severity of the disorder and does not always lead to a complete loss of speech. According to “Aphasia Suisse”, those affected have problems with speaking, understanding, reading and writing. The most common cause of aphasia is stroke. However, it can also be caused, among other things, by a traumatic brain injury after an accident, a brain tumor or meningitis. Speech disorder recovery is possible, but depends on the severity and location of the brain injury.
