Five Bruce Willis movies that will keep him active in fans’ minds

Bruce Willis, one of America’s biggest movie stars, has been diagnosed with aphasia. He is retiring from his acting career of over 40 years as a result of the diagnosis.

Aphasia is a neurological condition that impairs one’s ability to communicate. It affects the speech, writing and understanding of both spoken and written language. It usually happens all of a sudden after a stroke or a head injury. However, it can also be gradual as a result of a slow-growing brain tumour or a disease that causes progressive, permanent damage (degenerative).

Willis plies his trade in communication essentially as an actor so it is going to be heavy on him and his fans. The cognitive disability will inhibit him from acting.

Willis was born on March 19, 1955. In the 1970s, he began his career on Off-Broadway.

He rose to prominence from a comedy-drama series, Moonlighting (1985–1989) and has since appeared in over a hundred films. He became recognised as an action hero following his portrayal of John McClane in the Die Hard franchise (1988–2013) and other subsequent roles.

He married actress Demi Moore on November 21, 1987, and had three daughters. They later got divorced.

Willis has won various awards and has received honours throughout his career in television and film.

Here are his top five highest-grossing movies that will keep the memories of his active days in the minds of his fans.
