Die Hard star stepped away from acting earlier this year after being diagnosed with aphasia – a condition that affects language and speech. Now, Bruce, 67, has become the first Hollywood star to sell his rights to the tech firm Deepcake, allowing his moving and talking image to be used in films and TV and for movie actors past and present to star on screen together. As revealed in the documentary Tech To The Future, the groundbreaking deal paves the way for dead performers to be brought back to life, with Bruce previously ‘starring’ in a Russian phone advert with engineers attaching his digitally-created head to a human body double.
