Plus, Willis and Robert Kraft penned not only the movie’s story, but its Dr. Willis has hosted Saturday Night Live twice over the course of his career — once in Sept. “Hey man, don’t forget my rawhide!” One of the most delightful credits in Willis’ decades-long filmography is his turn as the voice of Spike, the Pickles family’s trusty dog, in the 2003 big-screen adventure Rugrats Go Wild. The album was also accompanied by an HBO mockumentary of the same name, in which Willis leans fully into his blues alter-ego Bruno Radolini. The moment was made all the more precious by the fact that Willis is battling frontotemporal dementia, a progression from his earlier diagnosis of aphasia. His co-star Cybill Shepherd also performed on a pair tracks on the album: the late ’40s jazz tune “I Told Ya I Love Ya, Now Get Out!” and Rodgers and Hart’s 1934 ballad “Blue Moon.”

Last year, the family of Bruce Willis announced he'd been diagnosed with aphasia, which is the loss of the ability to understand or express language.
Roubleau said intensive speech therapy can help someone with the language or aphasia variant retain language for a longer amount of time. "It also affects the temporal lobes. "So, you’ll see less brain volume on the sides where the temporal lobes are and on the front where the frontal lobes are." Roubleau explained about the progression of FTD. "You can imagine, if someone says something to you, asks you a question, a person with aphasia, they can’t receive that information and make sense of it," he said. "If you look at a brain, you’ll see space, more space than you should, in the front and on the side," explained Dr.
