“He’s not completely verbal; he used to be a voracious reader — he didn’t want anyone to know that — and he doesn’t read now. All those language skills are no longer available to him, but he’s still Bruce,” Caron said.
In the midst of his unfortunate circumstances, Bruce is still very much loved by his family. His wife Emma especially shared a heartwarming update about the actor living life to the fullest.
