I have no idea if you're right about that or not, but I'll assume you are. That was just what I saw reported on a few media outlets describing his condition. And sure, media gets shit wrong all the time, so they're probably wrong about that too. I have not studied aphasia or know all of its details. The important bit is that he retired from acting shortly after the diagnosis, though.
"A little over a week ago Bruce Willis confirmed his retirement from acting due to aphasia, a degenerative brain disease that affects speech and communication in general."[1]
"Actor Bruce Willis has announced his retirement after being diagnosed with Aphasia a degenerative brain disease that impacts one's ability to speak"[2]
