'Die Hard' Bruce Willis, who is facing frontotemporal dementia, has lost his verbal abilities because of the progression of this disease, as actor's friend says in an interview with Page Six.

Bruce Willis' condition is deteriorating

Screenwriter Glenn Gordon Caron shares that Willis is no longer able to speak or read.

During their last meeting, the actor couldn't remember his friend for several minutes.

“He’s not totally verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he’s not reading now,” the screenwriter says.

Willis' family is helping him fight this severe illness: his wife, Emma Heming, and their daughters, Mabel and Evelyn.

Children from his previous marriage with actress Demi Moore – Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah – also support their father.
