Following his aphasia diagnosis, Bruce Willis has been keeping busy and engaged. Aphasia is a brain ailment that impairs communication.
On Saturday, the longstanding Hollywood leading man went out for an errand, and he and a companion stopped for breakfast at a restaurant in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
Looking as trim as he has in recent years, the Die Hard star dressed casually cool in gray pants, a white short-sleeved button-down shirt, and blue sneakers.

Willis was pushed into early retirement after being diagnosed with a neurological condition in March that affects his speech and writing.
As a result, he and his wife have started spending much more time together at home.

Earlier this week, she confessed in an Instagram post on National Grief Awareness Day that she was trying to cope with her husband’s health issues, prompting trolls’ abuse.
In it, she credited discovering new activities, stepping outside of her comfort zone, and remaining active with helping her get through her agony.
Later she captioned a snapshot of messages left from online critics, ‘When you’re not allowed to talk grief, self-care, or being human in the world on grief awareness day,’ as one person suggested she would ‘cope just fine with his $$.’
In the original post, she provided words of wisdom from step-daughter Scout Willis, 31, who stated that grieving is “the deepest and purest form of love.”
Willis’ wife Emma Heming lambasted trolls for calling her a ‘drama queen’ after blogging about suffering with his aphasia diagnosis on National Grief Awareness Day.
‘My sadness may be paralyzing, but I’m learning to live with it,’ Emma, who has been married to Bruce since 2009, explained.
She also used three hashtags: ‘#nationalgriefawarenessday #griefawareness #liveitup.’
Emma was shown busy in the video montage as she accomplished various jobs such as painting, gardening, and running an electric saw.
She stayed active by practicing tennis and following a guided boxing practice.
At another point in the film, she was seen spending time with one of her and Bruce’s daughters. The couple has two children: Mabel, ten, and Evelyn, eight.
In addition to his two younger daughters and Scout, the actor has daughters Rumer, 33, and Tallulah, 28, who he has with his ex-wife Demi Moore, 59.
