Aphasia is usually accompanied by speech difficulties. It is most often seen in people over the age of 65.
Willis himself was extremely active as an actor until the last moment of his career. From the beginning of 2021 onwards, he has appeared in ten films, while there are, as the Guardian notes, eight more films with him that have been completed and are expected to start showing this year and next.
The multi-year cycle that is closing now for Bruce Willis is big and impressive, as he can boast that he has starred not in a few but in a few films that were not only commercial but also exciting at the same time.

Most people remember him, of course, as John McClain in the series Too Hard to Die (the reason for a total of five films: 1988, 1990, 1995, 2007 and 2013). His roles in Armageddon 1998 and Consumables 2012 rank him among the actors who tend to shine in action movies.
Bruce Willis, however, had another, more “atmospheric” side, the which has even remained in the history of cinema and as an extremely successful.
The Twelve Monkeys (1995), The Fifth Element (1997), The Sixth Sense (1999), The Sinful City (2005) are some of the films in which Bruce Willis shone in a very different way. He is also remembered for his role in the 1980s television series Moonlighting./p>
