What is Frontotemporal dementia?

As per Mayo Clinic website, Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an umbrella term for a group of brain diseases that mainly affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.

These areas of the brain are associated with personality, behaviour and language, reads the website.

Bruce Willis, who is now retired from the world of acting, gained fame with a leading role on the comedy-drama series Moonlighting (1985–1989) and has appeared in over one hundred films, gaining recognition as an action hero for his portrayal of John McClane in the Die Hard franchise (1988–2013).
