\u201cThis is a really challenging time for our family.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hollywood action hero Bruce Willis is stepping away from his acting career after being diagnosed with the brain condition aphasia<\/a> at 67. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aphasia is categorised as a disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to NICDCD, \u201cAphasia usually occurs suddenly, often following a stroke or head injury, but it may also develop slowly, as the result of a brain tumour or a progressive neurological disease. The disorder impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. Aphasia may co-occur with speech disorders, such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech, which also result from brain damage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His family issued a statement early this morning, with ex-wife Demi Moore also taking to Instagram to share the news.<\/p>\n\n\n
