Bruce Willis, the star of the Die Hard franchise and dozens of other action movies, will retire from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia, a disease that has hampered his “cognitive abilities”, his family said on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).
Willis, 67, who rose to fame in the 1980s comedy-drama TV series Moonlighting, has appeared in about 100 films across his four-decade career, winning acclaim for roles in Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense, and winning a Golden Globe Award and two Emmys.
