Frontotemporal dementia is a rare form of dementia, causing difficulties and changes in movement, personality, behavior and speech. “I think it was both a blessing and a curse,” his wife said of her husband’s diagnosis. “We finally understood what was happening so we could accept it.

When asked if the famous actor understands what is happening to him, she replied: “It’s hard to know. We are a very honest and open family,” she added, when asked about how they went about explaining the disease to their daughters. “And the most important thing was to be able to tell them exactly what this disease is, to explain to them what it is. It was important to let them know what it is because I don’t want there to be any ‘stigma’ or shame around their father’s diagnosis or any form of dementia.”
