Willis is retiring out of concern for his declining health.
Earlier this week, the family of longtime action movie star Bruce Willis announced in a joint statement that he is formally retiring from the acting profession at the age of 67. The primary reason for this retirement is a recent diagnosis of aphasia, a brain condition that impacts a person’s cognitive capabilities such as reading, writing, and understanding speech.

“To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him,” Willis’s ex-wife Demi Moore wrote on Instagram.
