Frail Bruce Willis clings to family amid battle with dementia

18:47 25.11.2023

Bruce Willis, the famous Die Hard star, was seen with his family on Thanksgiving, despite battling frontotemporal dementia. The 68-year-old actor appeared frail but in high spirits as he spent quality time with his loved ones. Willis' daughter, Scout, 32, shared a heartwarming video on Instagram, showing her father holding her hand during their Thanksgiving feast. The clip was followed by a sweet image of the two, with Scout resting her head in Willis' palm.

Scout is the second oldest of Bruce Willis' five daughters. The actor shares Scout, Rumer, 35, and Tallulah, 29, with his ex-wife, Demi Moore. He also has two daughters, Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9, with his current wife, Emma Heming Willis. The Thanksgiving footage shared by Scout comes after Glenn Gordon Caron, the creator of "Moonlighting," revealed that Willis was "not totally verbal" following his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis earlier this year.

Since the diagnosis, Willis' children have been sharing bittersweet images online, expressing their love and support for their father. Rumer, in an Instagram post, admitted to "really missing" her dad. Tallulah, in another post, expressed how proud she was of her father and referred to him as her "whole damn heart." She also appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show" to discuss her father's aggressive and rare dementia.

Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming Willis, also opened up about her feelings of guilt for having resources while her husband battles dementia. She emphasized the importance of raising awareness for the disease and showing compassion for other families affected by it. Emma shared her own family's journey with dementia, acknowledging that there are countless untold stories deserving of concern and understanding.

Despite his dementia, Bruce Willis continues to be surrounded by his loved ones who provide unwavering support. His daughter, Scout, shared several heartwarming videos and photos of their Thanksgiving celebration on social media. In one video, Scout held out her hand, waiting for Bruce to grab onto it, while in another photo, he gently placed his hands on her face. The family photo also included Bruce's wife, Emma, and their children, as well as Bruce's ex-wife, Demi Moore, and their daughters.

The family's public display of love and support comes as they navigate Bruce's dementia diagnosis. Tallulah, the youngest daughter, has been particularly vocal about her father's condition, sharing intimate photos and heartfelt captions on social media. She recently appeared on "The Drew Barrymore Show" and emphasized the love she sees in her father's eyes when she is with him. The family initially announced Bruce's aphasia diagnosis in spring 2022 before revealing the progression to frontotemporal dementia in February of this year.
