UNPHASED! Bruce Willis looks dapper in blue on breakfast outing months after Aphasia diagnosis
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA: Bruce Willis, whose aphasia diagnosis prompted him to give up acting, appears to be doing better these days. Recently, the 'Die Hard' actor was seen out for breakfast in Santa Monica during a glorious morning.
Willis, 67, was spotted wearing a white t-shirt layered with a light blue checkered shirt for a casual yet classy look. The 'Sixth Sense' star finished off his ensemble with a pair of blue jeans with the bottoms folded up, a brown belt, a pair of dark grey running shoes and a cap. Willis, who was born in 1950, began his acting career in 1980 with an uncredited part in the movie 'The First Deadly Sin'. When the celebrity revealed his aphasia diagnosis in March of this year, his four decade old career came to an end.

Aphasia, a neurological condition that affects an individual's ability for speaking, writing, and understanding language, is treated through speech and language therapies, according to the Mayo Clinic. The National Aphasia Association estimates that it affects 2 million people nationwide and roughly 180,000 Americans annually. Fortunately for Willis, the love and support of his family and friends have helped him fight the condition better.
On Sunday, October 16, Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, gave a wonderful rundown of their family's summertime adventures. Willis is shown in the reel, which is set to Maren Morris' song 'Bones', hanging out with his wife and kids Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8. Emma wrote in the caption, "We don't believe in perfection over here but #oursummer2022 was pretty close to it. In fact it was magic ☀️🥰."
Earlier this month, news emerged that Willis was willing to sell the image rights to potential TV and film roles but these claims were later denied by his agents. Willis' team refuted the information in a THR article. The statement read, "Although reports stated that this made Willis the first Hollywood personality to set up this type of deal, his team denies the existence of any such arrangement."
The actor completed a few unreleased films before declaring his retirement, paving the path for a climax to his illustrious career. The first to air is the action comedy 'Paradise City', starring the dynamic pair of John Travolta and Bruce Willis as an elderly bounty hunter on the hunt for a mafia lord. The release date for 'Paradise City' is set for November 11.
