Bruce will not be acting for the foreseeable future due to a medical condition that makes it difficult for him to communicate. Bruce's daughter, Rumer, shared the sad news Wednesday, posting a photo of her dad with a revealing caption about his health. Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him as a result of this and with much consideration. She goes on to say that the family appreciates the messages of support and that this is a challenging time. She wanted to be upfront about how much her dad means to them and to the public. As Bruce always says, "Live it up" and together we plan to do that. Love, Emma, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel, and Evelyn. Aphasia affects the ability to comprehend words. It can be caused by strokes, tumors or other brain damage. Bruce has acted in more than a dozen movies in the last 2 years. Bruce, I hope to see you soon.
