Action hero Bruce Willis, star of the Die Hard franchise, is to retire from acting after developing a cognitive illness, his family has announced.A post on Instagram said Willis had aphasia — a language disorder that robs people of their ability to communicate.
Aphasia is typically caused by a stroke or head injury — though in more rare cases can come on gradually and progressively. The paper noted that he was not at the Oscars on Sunday when several other stars of Pulp Fiction, including Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and John Travolta, took to the stage. Willis, who this month turned 67, provided the voice for the baby in the popular family flick Look Who's Talking.
Co-stars of the television show Moonlighting, Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd, hold their awards on 12 March 1986 during the People's Choice Awards in Santa Monica.The Instagram post announcing the news of his retirement is signed by Willis' current wife, Emma Heming Willis, as well as former wife, actress Demi Moore, and his children Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn.
