Bruce Willis’ brain disease has already advanced to a dire stage causing his loved ones to worry about him.

In its Oct. 3 issue, National Enquirer claimed that even before Willis was diagnosed with aphasia, there were already some signs suggesting that there was something wrong with him.

For instance, the actor had a hard time remembering his lines during filming. And he also slurred his words at one point. And now, it seems that he will never recover from his illness.

“The fear is he’ll disappear into a dark abyss in a few short years. People have worried for years that something was wrong because he couldn’t remember lines, he needed prompts, and his words didn’t come out right. The disease seems already to have advanced to a dire stage,” the source said.

While he still can, Willis is allegedly initiating conversations with the people that he got into fights with like John Travolta and Helen Mirren.

“Bruce wants to talk about the good times they had and settle any differences. He and Cybill, especially, butted heads during moonlighting. And he’d like to clear the air. He knows he wasn’t the easiest person to get along with. He had an enormous ego, and he wants her, John and Helen, and all the others to know what a privilege it was to work with them,” the source said.

For now, Willis is also focused on spending more time with his family. He has a wonderful relationship with his three daughters, as well as his ex-wife, Demi Moore, who has also been taking care of him.

And one of his final wishes is for his current wife, Emma, and his ex-wife to strengthen the bond between them. Nothing else would make Willis happier than knowing that the two women he loves dearly get along really well with each other.

While it is true that Willis was diagnosed with an incurable illness, it’s not true that his diagnosis worsened in recent months. For now, the actor is enjoying his time with his family and he’s also surrounded by all the love that he needs and deserves.

There’s no indication that Willis ever feuded with his fellow A-listers so it cannot possibly be true that he wants to repair his relationships with them before he succumbs to aphasia.
