According to reports, Willis, who is suffering from frontotemporal dementia, is unable to speak, read, or even walk.
The update on his health condition was revealed three years after he stepped away from acting following a diagnosis of aphasia in 2022.
Bruce, 70, is said to have become largely non-verbal and is reportedly experiencing motor difficulties, though no specific details about his mobility have been confirmed by his family in recent months, reported Daily Express.
