    Fairwell, Bruce. You made Cybill Shepherd bangable again. At least for a spell. Your contribution will not soon be forgotten.


    Bruce Willis Is ‘Stepping Away’ From Acting After Being Diagnosed With Aphasia
    By Rachel West. 1 hour ago

    Bruce Willis is “stepping away” from acting after he was diagnosed with aphasia.

    The actor’s daughter, Rumer Willis, shared the news on behalf of the entire family on her Instagram on Wednesday.

    “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,” the caption on a photo of the actor reads. “As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”

    Aphasia is a language disorder caused by damage in a specific area of the brain that controls language expression and comprehension. Aphasia leaves a person unable to communicate effectively with others and is frequently the result of a stroke, according to Johns Hopkins Medical Center.

    Full props for Pulp Fiction. Unforgivable for his offensive scene stealing in Hudson Hawk, though. He ruined some Oscar-worthy work by Danny Aiello.

    Bruce Willis is one of those multi-talented stars that are hard to find in show business. Equally adept at comedy and action roles he was one of the top drawing artists of the 80's and 90's.

    I was a bit discouraged by his recent roles, which were weak and one dimensional. The aphasia explains that pretty well.

    It certainly explains G.I. Joe, that’s for certain.

    Agnes and her eyes?

    That show had a lot of very under-rated players.

    Aphasia?

    Does Chris Rock have a joke for that?

    He has some great films, but basically every movie he's made for the past five plus years have been terrible.
