Aphasia is a condition that takes away the ability to communicate. May affect the ability to speak, write or understand the language (in written or verbal form). It typically occurs suddenly after a stroke or head trauma, but it can also occur gradually due to a brain tumor or disease that causes progressive and permanent brain damage.

Willis’s Hollywood career spans decades, and his filmography includes the movie hits “Die Hard”, “Pulp Fiction”, “12 Monkeys”, “The Fifth Element”, “Armageddon”, “The Sixth Sense”, “Tears of the Sun “and” Lucky Number Slevin “.
