The family of Bruce Willis has shared that they plan to donate his brain to scientific research after his death, with the goal of advancing understanding of frontotemporal dementia. The condition, which ultimately led to his retirement in 2022 after an initial diagnosis of aphasia, remains one of the least understood and most challenging neurodegenerative diseases.
According to his wife Emma Heming Willis, who writes about the journey in her book The Unexpected Journey, the decision is meant to turn personal hardship into something that may help others in the future. Together with Demi Moore and their daughters, the family hopes the donation will support research into brain changes linked to the disease and raise awareness of a condition that affects many families yet receives limited public attention.
